Check to see if the clip has come off either end of the boot, if not, check for splits. Not a massive job dude. Get it done asap though or you'll need a new shaft in the not too distant future.

it had a clip on the smaller end but not on the bigger, will go and get a clip

Get some CV grease too and re-fill the joint before you put it on.

one last question what size clip will i need?

They're prett universal mate, Ask for an outer one and it'll fit. Cut the excess pff and make sure you pinch it up properly or it'll just come off again. Side cutters work if you cant borrow some CV pliers!

got all the stuff, how much grease do i have to put back in?

Dont overdo it, about a golf ball sized amount if it looks pretty dry. Just use common sense.....
