It a rubber boot on the end of the steering rack.

looking at the service box you can buy a replacement kit (official pug) for 20.55 GBP + VAT. No sure what the labour to fit it would be like thou, they'd have to remove the track rod end (may want to replace that while you there) I think.

Someone else will probably know whats involved in fitting it. All in all nothing too major, if that all my car failed a MOT on i'd be fairly happy.

iirc the ram on the steering rack has to be removed. not a hard job, just awkward due to space.

you will need to have the front wheel alignment checked after fitting aswell
