As title says I have removed the charcoal filter that was sat in engine bay. I also removed the rubber hose from bulkhead to filter. Question is what have people done with the vent line from the tank that previously went yo this filter? I have plugged it at the moment and reading my manual...

On checking my cv boots found I have one new driveshaft and one old. The old one has a lot of play and the boots have split, so my plan was to renew the joints, but have been looking at complete driveshafts. Has anyone bought one and if so which is the best, as I seem unable to find OE or OEM...

Is it true that a split CV boot is an MOT failure? I am thinking of changing this myself rather than take it to a garage as this was one of the reasons I bought a bay.... to work on it myself , so is this a straightforward job or an absolute pain in the ass? Brilliant forum by the way Cheers...
