MOT Fail What is needed?
Recently took my Ford Fiesta 1.25 06 for it's first MOT since I bought and my first MOT in general but i was refused and MOT certificate and I can't seem to find the parts on the proviso.
1) Offisde front coil spring broke [2.4.C.1A] Which is can find a front coil spring part on Euro Car Parts
2) [2.4.G.2] Both Nearside and Offside suspension arm ball joint dust cover excessibley damaged so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt it's this part that I'm struggling to find has anyone got any ideas what it might be and where I might find a part i've tried Euro Car Parts and ebay but to no prevail maybe i'm searching for the wrong thing
Any Help appreciated

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
Its the rubber gaitor around the balljoints on the front lower wishbones,
They can be replaced,
But the full arm isnt expensive and is less labour, so prob work out not much more just to replace the complete arms
Often when the gaitors are burst they let moisture etc into the balljoint and grease out
So they end up needing replaced shortly afterwards anyhow
Prob best off to just the replace the comlete arms

Cant link without more details but just go on eurocar parts, or car parts express or the likes of them, or even ebay, plenty listed on there,
Or just go to any local motor factors
Common parts so wont have an issue getting them
