yep, I'm going to check the fit of the shaft both at the diff end and the spigot on the gearbox. I do seem to remember having to open out the hole in the gearbox end so it would fit like Robin said, but that it was still a pretty snug fit. The front was custom made to my P.C.D specs where as I think the rear was an off the shelf part for a BMW. I also had to open up the bolt holes on the diff end of the shaft to 11mm as the P.C.D wasn't quite perfect but as the locating ring was ok, didn't think it would make any difference. Maybe I screwed it up.
I have the day off tomorrow so can get stuck in without having to fight the dark and the unsociable aspects of rev-ing a car at 8-9 in the evening.
