Used propshafts vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
No — the Vauxhall Tigra is a front-wheel-drive car in both its generations (the original Tigra A, built on the Corsa B platform from 1994 to 2001, and the Tigra TwinTop from 2004 to 2009), so it has no propshaft at all. Propshafts only exist on rear-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive vehicles, which the Tigra never was. If you're hearing a droning or vibration noise from underneath, what you're likely looking for is a driveshaft (also called a CV shaft or half-shaft), which transfers drive from the gearbox to the front wheels.
That's almost certainly a mistake — no Vauxhall Tigra was ever built with a propshaft, as every variant was front-wheel-drive only. A propshaft carries drive to the rear wheels, and the Tigra simply doesn't have that layout. Ask the breaker or supplier whether they meant a driveshaft instead, and make sure to give them your registration so they can confirm the correct side (NS or OS) and the right CV joint type for your engine.
You most likely need a front driveshaft — there's one on each side, so make sure you know whether you need the nearside (NS, driver's side on a UK car) or offside (OS, passenger side). The correct driveshaft can vary between the Tigra A (1994–2001) and the Tigra TwinTop (2004–2009), and engine size can also affect which unit was fitted, so always give your full registration to a breaker when asking for a quote. A breaker who dismantles Vauxhalls will be able to cross-reference the right part against your vehicle.
No — because the Tigra has no propshaft mounting points or rear-wheel-drive transmission tunnel, there is no propshaft from any other model that could be fitted to it. The Tigra shares its front-wheel-drive platform with the Corsa, not with any rear-wheel-drive Vauxhall. If you've been given this advice, it's worth going back to the supplier and clarifying exactly what part they're referring to.
Trim level doesn't change the fact that no Tigra — regardless of whether it's a base, Sport, or Design model — was ever rear-wheel-drive, so no trim variant ever had a propshaft. For the driveshaft you actually need, trim level doesn't affect fitment either; what matters is the generation and engine size, so concentrate on those details when speaking to a breaker. Give your registration to the breaker and they can confirm the exact driveshaft specification for your car.
