Bit late to this discussion, but for what it's worth, I've got a 1.6, came with the 2-piece shaft with the centre CV joint, still working fine except the mounting rubber on the centre bearing has worn (Burtonpower sell them) and I can't separate the two shafts to replace it. So quite a few years back I fitted a 1.3 2-piece shaft with the centre UJ and that works fine too (except right now a UJ on it needs replacing). Anyone know how to replace a 'staked' UJ? (as opposed to a circlip-secured one). Burtonpower also sell UJ's listed as suitable to replace 'staked' UJ's but I don't know how this is done, specifically how you ensure the UJ shells are properly centred in their bores. So anyway, either pattern of shaft works OK, at least for road use.
