Will put on another sticky boot, ordered one for £10, and might do an install video if anyone is interested.

If you get the same life from a split (sticky) boot as you do from a regular one, what's not to love?
2 1/2 years isn't very long, is it? Not sure what potholes and drains have to do with boot failure though - I always thought it was tight turns that did them in (based on the fact that while potholes and drains still affect the rear boots, the rear boots don't have to deal with steering forces/angles and therefore last for nearly forever).
