MOT Failure....Advice.....Syncro related.

Woe is me!

Van failed on 'Split Front offside wheel end CV rubber boot'

BTW....Is this a real fail?

If you had to do this where would you buy new boot?
I feel I want to replace with best quality, is this OEM from VW dealer?
Would you do both ends at same time?

Also got a warning about front brake hoses.

How do you feel about these SS braided ones, where from?

Also failed on 'unsecure number plate'....can't understand this as it was fairly secure on the dash,(...except when I go round corners)

boot, vw, I have late ones and one early one in stock here, mot fail cos of potential grease contamination of brake discs, brake hoses I got mine from brickie in s/s, CJ had some too, there are other sources, vw are good if a triffle expensive, but you know they are right and have the correct rubbing reinforcement in tthe right places etc...but be prepar4ed to replace more than just the flexis you don't know what will break till you try...

Also, I think if you are going for the SS brake hoses - you'll need the slightly longer ones for the Syncro. Which CJ does. Like Aidan says, can turn into a longer job when you find you need to replace the sections of hard pipe as well...

Syncro ones are the same length as late 2WD ones.

Front brake hoses for Syncros, I'm nearly 100% certain that when I replaced mine I spent a little time in the local parts centre and the part number came up as the same as Renault Masters, they were the same length and the same ends and that's what I fitted.
