'splat'

[Apache]

but a new joint is £70 will i 100% need one?!

No, not if you haven't been in deep water or generally got cr@p into it. They're pretty tough.

You should be able to get them a damned sight cheaper than that. Unless they have just generally jumped up in price.

Im just going on roughtrax mate, Ive had absolutly no dealings with cv joints/boots things! Totally new to me - probably a bad thing!

is it worth getting one, no questions asked kinda thing? i did about 2-3 miles from the 'splat' to home.

If you are running most of your miles on road then manual hubs are perfect for you Rod, 3 or 4 CV boot changes in a year or so = 1 set of manual hubs.

Warn are around £150 but ROUGHTRAX do an ATM hub for around £100.

Just replace the boot, it comes with grease. easy enough job.
