Put my motor in for it's M.O.T. today. My usual garage, during which they discovered a leak from the diesel pump filter, which they renewed. I haven't got any fuel or rainbows on my drive. (Apparently this is only obvious when the car is left on tick over and a small drip appears on the floor beneath ramp). That though isn't the issue. There was an Advisory Info issued stating
'001 Anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover deteriorated, but preventing the ingress of dirt offside front lower [2.4.G.2].
My question is does this issue either require or need an 'Advisory'?
I'm happy to replace both anti-roll bar joints myself, having searched this forum it doesn't appear to be too difficult or costly.
 
Yes it does.
My camper van had similar at the Mot last June, it's cracked and mouldy but not letting dirt in or grease out .
It will soon ish though hence the nod or advisories.
 
Split boots never used to fail. But they brought it in a few yeas ago so it's a natural advisory now as it will fail when it does split.
