Well done on the MOT

@Macky_6, I thought there was only 1 CV boot on the N/S/F but you say boots? Maybe both the fronts are knackered, if so then honda would probably take £120 just for the cv boots which is a terrible price compared to Eurocar parts £19.50 per boot. I'm sure if you took it to a local garage you'd get the work done for significantly less than £240. Just give the garage a call and ask what they would charge.

looking at the service card it says:

N/S/F inner & outer CV gaitors deteriorated

In more detail on another page it says inner gaitor deteriorated then seperately outer gaitor deteriorated?

I baulked when i saw the price and have since removed the car from Honda. I am gonna get it MOT'd at my local garage where i should have taken it in the first place

You can glue your CV boots if they are split, just to get it MOT'd. I have done this in the past, I used some black silicone to fill the cracks where it was perishing (or you can use superglue)

MOT guy passed it...

Sorry Peachy, moved this thread to Electrical as it wasn't really a How-to or guide as such.

@macky_6there are 2 cv boots per driveshaft an inner and an outer boot - so the driveshaft will have to come out and bearings and cv cup checked for play, scoring etc and repacked with grease and new boots fitted. oem cv boots will cost a fair bit from Honda but blueprint should be same quality and half the price.

@Peachy
nice one on the mot
