That would of ocurse be 'our' driveshaft.

I'd add:

whilst = while
anti-clockwisw = counter-clockwise
figure-of-eight = figure-eight
drift (v) = hammer gently
drift (n) = a rod-like thing you hammer against, sometimes pointy, often 
brass
paraffin = kerosene
lint free non-fluffy rag = old BVD underwear
