Right so it looks like you peeps were right! thx, I have found a site where i can buy two cv joints brand new with boots, clips, grease, e.c.t, for about £22 a set, my mechanic says he will fit them for me for £30 a side,so all in all,£104 for parts and work! just hope it works I would have a go and fit them myself but i dont want to mess things up.
