I need it doing soon but I know the gator on the steering rack has a split,would this mean a fail? Ta

Yes. However, you may be able to temporarily repair it using black silicone sealant, if it's just a small split.

Obviously, clean the area using meths or white spirit before applying sealant.

A thousand thank youz

As above yes its a MOT failure.

Replacing it is a 10 minute job, disconnect the track rod end from the wishbone, slide off the old boot, sild on the new one and reconnect the track rod end. Obviously make sure its clamped at either end with eny fixings that came with the new one or even cable ties.

I have in the past wrapped a boot with black insulation tape to hide a split. Not sure it would get through now but it was good enough at the time.
