Can't help with CV joints, but there's a lot on here about repairing the resistors. Fuse is 5th from left on middle row.

Befor you go buying new ones have you the right size tyres on?

They should be the same rolling diameter all round, if not they wind the transmission up & kill the economy too plus your driveshafts. Easy spot as the tyres will have worn with ramped tread blocks ;)
