dont worry, I experienced this with my first car, a seat ibiza.
I didnt throw a drive shaft but the engine seized, then about 6 months later the brakes fooked- applying different forces at four corners, then a sensor failed on the engine that monitors whether the choke should be on or off, or if the car is too hot to run. Then when everythings ok, the alternator failed spectaculary about 30 miles from home, just managed to get back on the battery, Then it got vandalised in preston as some joker kicked the front grill in. Then it had running problems which required new coil, leads, dizzy cap and rotar arm and plugs, and for some reason they were double the price of any other ibiza engin so it cost nearly £170 for that, then, when I decided to sell it and start looking for a stilo, it ran perfect for six months, until the night before taking it to the garage to get the stilo- the brakes failed and seized on!
There is other stuff like exhausts dropping off, then being rear ended as well but it goes to show that other people have these problems to
