FML

 :sad:

Was under my car today and noticed yet another split CV boot. I was off to buy me some new wheels this weeekend as well...Which have now been cancelled/put on hold. Raginggggggggggggggggg. Was pretty exicted about getting new wheels, but I guess good working condition must come before style.

If money didn't make the world go round eh  :sad:

Going to get my CV boot done, cambelt and all that goes with it, and new clutch then I'll treat my self to some sparkly wheels...and maybe even some more lows  :rolleyes:

Rant over.  :smiley:

Have you replaced that boot before?

I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

I'v got one J&R entire drive shaft at the mo. Before that I used a cheap crappy 'universal stretch boot' from some TPS/GSF place, split with in a month so bought an entire one. I think I will be doing the same...Will have to see.
