Just noticed a small split in the front outer CV boot on my car, can anyone advise on part number and/or where i can get a new one, thanks Claudio
Its a GKN boot ARW 17045-1 but doesnt seem to come up when speaking to GKN?

Sorry this seem's a bit late but I have only just joined. I have had all 4 Drive shafts checked and re-booted at Dave Mac Propshafts (Coventry). They also make Drive Shafts from Formula 1 spec steel (not cheap but very good).

spent a heck of a long time trying to find out where they came from and it seems that they are possibly from mg montego/maestro 1984-1990, but what i enventually did was completely remove boot from shaft, thoroughly degrease it and then used the special rubber glue you get with the split boots to simply repair the small/minor split, the special rubber glue welds the the rubber together so it's as good as new and you cant even see it's been repaired
