I took a chance as it was a bargain
Now I know britpart bashing is a full on sport on here
But is this a New GKN one ? When you visit the site
It’s say new

They will be, as only GKN Drive Line made them.

I'd go reconditioned myself too, as it's ⅓ the price.

I did not pay nowhere near that tbh
Don’t need it but took a chance it will come in handy one day

Think they've gone up a lot. I thought they were about £350 including the VAT.

Here you go, edited for easier reading.

Looks like it was made in 2015.
