Didn't know 'Jubilee' made them A-Cell have used their stainless 'J' clips in the boat building industry for years, generally regarded as the best so I cannot see why their CV joint clips should be any different. Thanks for the kind offer Ross will take you up on that if that is ok will PM you with my address could you let me know how much you want for a couple.
Regarding cable ties and wire, from reading all the posts it would appear my doubt's as to them being an MOT fail were unfounded. Never can tell though especially with MOT testers like that plonker that failed the ball joints for not having nyloc nuts on, posted yesterday I think.
