A used cv joints that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
Yes, CV joints genuinely exist on the Vauxhall Tigra. Both the original Tigra A (1994–2001) and the Tigra B TwinTop (2004–2009) are front-wheel-drive cars, so they use driveshafts with inner and outer CV joints to transmit drive to the front wheels. If you have a Tigra, you do have CV joints — you're looking for the right part.
No — the Tigra A and Tigra B TwinTop are completely different generations on different platforms, and their driveshafts and CV joints are not interchangeable. The Tigra A is based on the Corsa B platform, while the Tigra B TwinTop shares its underpinnings with the Corsa C. Always match the generation when sourcing from a breaker.
It can do — driveshaft and CV joint specifications sometimes differ between engine variants because larger or more powerful engines can place greater torque loads on the drivetrain. On the Tigra B for example, the 1.4 and 1.8 variants may use different driveshaft assemblies, so confirm your exact engine size with the breaker alongside your registration. Never assume a CV joint from a smaller-engined Tigra will be a direct match for a larger-engined one.
Yes, side absolutely matters — the nearside (NS, left) and offside (OS, right) driveshafts on the Tigra are different lengths, so the CV joints are not interchangeable between sides. Always tell the breaker clearly which side you need, and double-check against your own car before fitting. Fitting the wrong side will not work.
No — trim level does not affect CV joint fitment on the Tigra; it's engine size and generation that matter, not whether your car is a base or Sport trim. Trim differences on the Tigra relate to cosmetic and comfort features rather than drivetrain components. Confirm engine size and your registration with the breaker and you don't need to worry about trim.
Both of those years fall within the Tigra B TwinTop generation (2004–2009), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility if the engine sizes match. However, you should confirm the exact part number with the breaker against your registration, as minor mid-production changes can affect fitment and we cannot guarantee interchange without verification. Give the breaker your full reg and the donor vehicle's reg for the safest match.
