Default driveshaft rubber boot question

hi
I have recently noticed that the rubber boot that goes around the drive shaft arm has split as shown in the picture.

the question is will this do any damage if left alone? i think i know that one

also where can i buy a new rubber boot from?

cheers dannytwo

As it is,it will allow dirt and grit etc. to get in to the bearings causing damage.Leaving it as it is will probably lead to needing a new c/v joint.The gatters are very cheap maybe £10. Its not worth not replacing it to be honest. A good motor factor shoud be able to get them.
