motorway EXPLOSION

[rich_1989]

ok well not quite,

was coming down the motorway to santa pod yesterday, pulled over at some services about 20 miles away and noticed CV grease all over my wheel! yep got to santa pod and the cv boot had exploded.... well split, so limped back from the pod at no more than 60 mph to avoid the joint f**king up and a managed a average of.... wait for it..... 50.7 MPG!!!
anyway, i need know best place and prices for a cv boot. i know this is common part on any car but every part i buy for this car (ball joint) seams to be like some kind of hidden relic!

cheers people

ANY motor factor. Check it'ss not just the clip that's broken though, it normally is

nope, reset it before leaving the pod, so the whole 119 miles

na clip is the s**t type that always fall off, but tis still on, jus got two slits in the rubber where its perished. but will be using good old jubelee clips when the new one goes on.

just to let people kno the mpg i got was true, but it was by doing speeds of 50-60 max, and driving extreamly smooth, on reflection, i would rather stab my fuel tank with a screw driver and drive like a mad man than the bordem of slip steaming a lorry the whole way

bought mine off rentech was about £12 i think might of been clearance stock tho but worth asking.

If I were to drive like one of the elderly, I could get 50 mpg quite easily. Highest I've had is about 54 in my cup.

 

[maynard]

if i remember right we don't do them, best off going to renault on this one i think.

i went to my local renault garage and it cost me £40 not 100% sure if that was the boot supplied tho
