General Driveshaft for a Doblo 1.4 2006

[adesmile]

Driveshaft Right Side has snapped and I can't find a replacement anywhere on the Internet (eBay, breakers yards, big Google search)
The one replacement I did find is out-of-stock and is listed on many spare parts websites.
www.autodoc.co.uk/lauber/7925537

The out-of-stock replacement gives me a Fiat OE of 46307678 but searching for that OE gives me lots of driveshafts but none are compatible with the 1.4 2006 model. Why would that be? Could the compatibility checker be wrong?

Does anyone know of good suppliers that are not on the Internet? It seems crazy to have to scrap my Doblo because I can't find a £ 100-ish replacement part.

Any advice is appreciated.

When you say snapped, what is broken?

I've attached a photo. The pipe-thingy has broken off just after the rubber bit.

Oh I see! , not a just a case of a CV joint etc.
There are companies that specialise in modifying/lengthening/shortening and reconditioning drive shafts etc. They may be able to advise.
It's strange given how many Doblo's of that model must have been made that no one has any stock.
A motor factor may be able to put you in touch with one of those companies.

Wow that's pretty remarkable has the vehicle hit a curb or something recently it takes quite a bit to break the shaft like that

jandrcvjoints.co.uk came up while searching the 7 series part number for the Refurbed vesion of your shaft

Numbers came from ePER

FIAT ePER

There were 6+ pages of variants

Worth cross referencing what you actually have
