Grinding noise and no movement… driveshaft/Stub issue?

Probably both I’m afraid. Stub axle spline and spline socket in the gearbox
 
99% It'll be the offside driveshaft and gearbox stub, but the only way to know is to remove the driveshaft, which is easy with the right tools.
If it's a manual box, then the stub just unbolts, but if DSG, the box needs to be removed, and split open to replace the differential side gear, which has the splines inside it.
