Ford were doing a complete shaft & joints reconed for Ł225 ish on an exchange basis, but this was some time a go. You can get just the joints if thats all thats broken.

A new tripod is Ł50 (genuine Ford) and the drive shaft you can have for Ł25 + Ł10 delivery .

Or you can have the second hand complete one (all made up ready to bolt on) for Ł125 delivered.

Sounds daft, but this happen to me - turned out my standard passengers engine mount was dead (in two pieces) and one hard launch later, the engine pulled to tha passengers side and popped the driveshaft out.

I fitted some Vibra Technics engine mounts and I have never had a problem since.

May be an idea to check you engine mounts at the same time.....
