It was time to investigate the 'no drive' problem that raised it's ugly head yesterday.
I jacked up the car & supported it and pulled the drivers side halfshaft. Nothing wrong there, so off to the passenger side. This is what I found.

I'm not impressed at all. These were new shafts & hubs fitted last year and the quality is deplorable. I've been chucking this old motor all over the countryside for years on old shafts & hubs with no issues. I fit new ones and one breaks in short order. What the heck happened to quality???
Thankfully the break was at the hub end so removal of the rest of the shaft wasn't a problem. I found a serviceable hub & shaft, so I fitted that and did a brake clean up & service while I was in there.
Although it doesn't legally need an MOT now, I've got it booked in for one tomorrow so fingers crossed.
