CV boot retaining clip question

[sinnie92]

I had my mot today, everything was good except for a number plate bulb and said clip.

the tester said I can return to him with the work done in 10 days and he will check it and sign it off for free.

Can I get this clip on its own or will I have to buy the kit? he said there wasn't any signs of grease which is a plus.

any advice would be much appreciated

You can get the clip on its own without buying a boot kit.

Or just use a chunky jubilee clip to get it through the MOT. Then change over to a proper one if you're that bothered about it.

I've got jubilee clips on mine as much more durable than the original clips and easier and cheaper to get hold of

what size do I need?

I can't remember the exact size but if you have got the old clip use that as a guide and buy one that's slightly bigger so that you can fit it easier
