Thanks for that Ainars, I plugged my registration in and they listed a selection of boot kits. Nothing particularly expensive either.
I'll see how the garage get on with Audi, if that hits a problem I'll point them at J&R. +++

Let's hope you have better luck with J&R than I did. I didn't fancy just replacing the CV boot, so I ordered an entire drive shaft off them, using the car reg. It wasn't anything like the proper driveshaft, and then I had a complete hassle with them before they were willing to accept the return.

I then ordered the following one off eBay (febi), and then took the end of the driveshaft off to fit it as I didn't have that tool to expand the boot. Chances are it's the same part number, but yours is a S8.

Well they've done the job and it has a new clean MOT. +++
Not collected it or paid yet so I'll be interested to see what the "Audi tax" is on a £20 kit of parts. :rolleyes:

Almost £70 (including VAT) for the boot kit from Audi. :eek: Labour wasn't a whole lot more.....

£21 for the one I bought off eBay, which is more than enough for me. If it lasts half as long as the previous one, I'll be happy.
