Hi I just wanted to pass it on that I successfully used a bailcast universal cv split boot on front inner cv joint on discovery 3 , if your in a spot and don't fancy fighting with the hub it can work on either boot , take off the wheel and also jack the axle making the cv boot straight, remove old clips, big end has a hard to find join you prize open with screwdriver, keep the large end of old boot with the lock in it and as far out as end of first ring , slide off and cut the rest off as you can turn it , sort the grease and pop it back on , clean it and clean the shaft , only glue small end first and then the rest of uni boot it works better, when its set the uni split boot fits perfectly over the old boot end , carefully push in all way round , I used Halfords 90/120 mm hoseclip instead of one supplied , keeping it straight all the way round and I slowly tightened and once the tightening screw gives resistance stop , give it one or two more turns max and leave it , overtighten and it will pop off , just slice tip of very end of small shaft side and it fits perfectly, any clip will do that end .I've Done a few miles and so far so good, hope it helps someone needing quick cheap fix .
