Iv got a lovely mess under my bonet now as the CV boot has split a little on the gearbox side of the LHS drive shaft and thrown loads of gearbox oil everywhere :roll: :shock:
Can i get another boot fitted or is it an exchange drive shaft jobbie?

Right Iv got it sorted now, been driving it around for a week to find more oil coming from te gear box....... its coming out on the other side seal now (drivers side drive shaft) Are these easy to do? Its not a CV boot as such its more like a oil seal like on a crank. :?
