Hello and welcome (first post)

If either 1 or both of the cv boots are split then don't drive it any distance at all.

In case you are not aware, the cv boot is in place to hold grease that surrounds the cv joint. If there is no grease present around the cv joint, then metal on metal will cause big repair bills £££'s.

Get it sorted asap, and sort out your caps lock.
