I don't know if you have owner the car from new but if you haven't then it is a possible scenario that at some time the rubber boot was split and Water and dirt contaminated the cv joint ..this should have been cleaned out if I am correct and re greased before a new boot fitted ..if this wasn't done then the dirt will cause premature failure ..
Faulty CV joints will always give the tell tale click click click click on lock coyotes![]()
Ta very much, ill ask the garage to check that after my MOT in feb!
If they run the car and find the joint is gone its an MOT failure.. the place I used always ran the cars around the block to warm up the engines and to see how they run![]()
Hmmm that presents a dilemma, do I take her in now or wait till feb?![]()
That depend if your place run the cars like mine does ..but running the car on a worn joint is asking for trouble cos if it seizes up your well and truely in the doo![]()
