just been checking over the car and noticed that the two rubber boots on the ends of the gear selector cables have perished and not covering the cable no more. would these be picked up on MOT?

cheers

Nope, not motable
Might be worth putting some ptfe spray on the exposed cables to prolong their life though.

brill! just what i wanted to know!

does anyone know if you can get just the gators off fiat or do you have to get the whole cable assembly?

I reckon they're only available complete, anyone with eper?
