I've previously used ones with a steel insert in the ratchet mechanism which is much stronger. Not sure you can still get them now though.

Yup. Ive done it and its been through a few MOT`s now. And I also used a bicycle puncture patch on the brand new boot that I put a screwdriver through
aaaaargh
Surprisingly worked well too.

I had to do them like that on the wife's old Clio for an MOT the next day...
... they were still on it 4 years later when it went for scrap
(I hate Clio's - so no way I was touching them again if they didn't fall off)

I did on SWMBOs last car for an MOT 3-4 years back. Car passed the MOT and rattled on for a bit before it was part-ex'd with the tie wrap still
in place doing fine.
