MOT 'advisory' help
My car just passed its MOT but one of the advisories was 'Offside front constant velocity joint gaiter deteriated'. The guy also said that they put a cable tie on it.
In full bloke mode I looked at him nodding understandingly but am clueless as to what this is!
Can anyone explain in layman's terms what one is?!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.It means that the rubber cover which protects the c.v. joint from grit and water has deteriorated to the point where it isn't doing it's job properly and needs a bit of help from a cable tie to keep contaminants out and the grease in. This is a temporary bodge and you should get a new one fitted othewise the next thing to be replaced will be the c.v. joint and that will cost much more.
