Thanks mate. I have now peeled the leather cover off. May ask at the dealer (will be extortionate i know), but there again it doesn't look too bad. The original gaiter was a bit cracked so replacing that with a leather one off ebay. Suprisingly the original isn't which is typical Fiat i suppose. Just prepping the car for road use again. Link rods, middle exhaust box and flexi hose (thats the second replacement, third on rods i think. Had the car from new and for all the annoying flaws, i can't part with her.
