Passenger side:
Drivers side:
How would I go about fixing that, or how much would a garage charge, the hose clips dont seem to be there, will I need a new one or just more clips?
(I also think that was the source of the clicking noise  )

I think it was only clicking because it had moved and was catching on something.

The metal in the cv joint that's no longer got any grease in it probably clicks though.

Is there much play in the joints?
If so yours CV joints will have gone. Cost me £200 for them on my Ibiza (both sides) will probally be cheaper if its a corsa

From my understanding the boot just holds the grease in and stops dust and dirt getting in.
When it comes off the grease all gets out/dirt gets in and it's metal against metal.
