After loud crunch and loss of drive on my 02 Megane diesel - got car home and RAC guy suggested drive shaft problems. Now have car jacked up. Engine runs fine, gear selection and clutch operate fine. Both front wheels rotate freely along with driveshafts (but with clicking sound) when gears engaged - driveshafts seem ok - do these symptoms only leave gearbox diff as the failed part?

It feels as if all the joints on the shaft/hub are sound and the clicking is from the gearbox end.

Is the clicking noise coming from the wheel area or further in towards the gearbox ? If its a driveshaft fault its probably the outer cv joint on the shaft that has broken up or stripped.
