Certainly nowhere near as much as this though -
Good grief, that is far too much..

Thanks again for your suggestions. Will put one or two of them to the garage tomorrow, but always always wary of trying teach granny how to suck eggs.
This will poss be the last attempt before I take drastic action like spending more money on a new shaft. This problem is sapping my will.
4 pages already for a cv boot!!
I have never undertaken this type of replacement myself, but perhaps a new shaft is not that drastic. If you can go by this Scotty Kilmer video (starts around 7m 35s) it would appear that in the US the usual remedy to CV problems - either joint wear or knackered gaiter - is to replace the whole shaft. It does not appear that expensive and perhaps the labour time is less than dealing with the specific joint itself. Clearly it is a much different market there to the UK, but perhaps this option is ultimately less trouble.
Maybe take a spare boot .....
