Will probably depend on what diff/gearbox you have.

You will need to remove the prop shaft then remove the uj's so you can measure the outer cups.
This is a reasonable easy job to do if the prop has circlips to hold the cups in place, if not you will need
to get the prop refurbished at a machine shop.
If you have the circlip type you can easily do the job with a few sockets and a good vice, just be careful not
to drop any of the rollers into the cups .
Online is proberbly the way to go for the the replacement uj's unless you have a proper motor factors shop
nearby.
It use to be much easier back in the day for these kind of bits, thus is life ...

And make sure you mark the position of prop shaft to keep things in balance .

Many thanks for the replies. I think I'll let the local garage sort it out
