replaced both outer cv boots today with "stretch boots" off ebay.

whilst i was able to tighten outer (large) clamp ok (no movement at all) with improvised tool,- the small clamp on the drive shaft despite my best efforts can still be moved a bit (with firm pressure).

the mot is on tuesday and i am wondering whether to remove the small clips and replace with jubillee clips :think:

what do you think?

If you needvto use firm pressure to move it then it will be fine for the mot.

ok, i will see if they pull me on that, i have already sorted out a couple of suitable jubillee clips in case, tibsy

well it passed the mot with just a couple of advisories,-

3 tyre"s- perishing- (been on there 7yrs!)

offside front lower rear bush (slight deterioration)

fuel pipes corroded!- i did not notice that.

The only thing you need to sort out from that list is the tyres tbh, slightly deteriorated could mean anything!!!
