The thing with asking another garage to look at the advisory points is even if they also think they don't need doing, they'll still tell you that they do in hope of getting your business.

Exactly. Even if you really know the guy. He'll know you dont know much and he might just say yeah it needs to be done. Might ask a few

Worth looking at the cv gaiter, if it's going to split it's worth getting done now.

Even more so if you're having the suspension arm done.

I suppose it depends on what they look like, they could be shreddded, or could last another five years. Worst that can happen is they'll start to clonk, but nothing should drop off.

Worst that can happen is that the grease comes out then it kills the CV joint. £50-£100 for a replacement CV joint vs £10 for a replacement boot - I know which I'd take.

I suggested changing the gaiter long ago in post 22.
You're mis reading the posts about the suspension bushes.
I was responding to what you said earlier about the advisories "are nonsense".
Glad to see you changed your mind though, the cv gaiter will probably need doing eventually. But you'll never get it for £10 at a garage.

ah no where near me

probably talking in the region of £40 fitted for a cv boot
