check there is no play in the shaft
and the cv joint is not noisy
if thats the case its just the clip on the rubber boot thats gone

ill have a look after ive had some dinner,
how can i tell if the cv joint is noisy though?
and if there is no play and dont make any noises is it just a case of pulling that rubber bit back over and doing the clip up tighter? maybe a cable tie on it or something?
or does something else need to be done?

i have pulled the rubber back over the shaft and done the clip up tight now, this should be ok right?
now before i even done that, i checked the drivers side shaft and guess what? theres oil leaking out where it goes into the gearbox! argh i really dont ever have any luck with cars, whats the problem this time? i have taken a pic and ill post it up in a few mins

thats the shaft u said popped out before wasnt it (passenger side) as i said to u the cv doesnt seem like a normal cv as they usually have a circlip to hold the shaft to the cv where as urs didnt look like it did and the cv is on somesort of roller bearings instead of balls like normal cv's
