[MillerLight]

my sis has just brought a 52plate clio and i have been looking through its bills etc and its had the O/s/f CV BOOT replaced twice. anyone know what it is and does?

Its just a little Rubber boot that surrounds the Constant Velocity (C.V) joint. Basically its their to protect the joint from dust and the elements and to keep it covered in grease. Simple small job to replace but an MOT fail if not done.

Its pretty common for them to split or for the metal strap holding them on to come loose, ive had it done on mine.
