dampers would be under £200
exhaust seal will be £5 max
rear brake pads you can buy for around £20
so thats alot of labour
could all be done in about 3 hours tops

cheaper that that (shocks all around are £120 from euro car parts)
brake pads are £12 from ECP
and exhaust seal is like 2 quid
could do the rear shocks yourself (even if you are not mechanically minded its only 2 bolts a side) pads are really easy and exhaust seal is just unbolt the section and just put the paste on
then all you need at max is the front shocks fitting

Euro Parts are £120 for 4 dampers, but being in trade get discount my self.
If ur mechanicaly minded do it all your self, if your stuck for cash, scrap yards might be worth a hour of your time.. But i recomend new

I took mine in for its MOT this morning (expires next Monday) and it passed with the 1 advisory. Not bad for a 9 year old car on approx. 92k miles

Last time i looked at it, it needed shocks, springs, and a wheel cylinder.
It passed... And feel free to come see if the work has been done, which it was that evening.
Iknow what needs checking and what condition it has to be in, the ministry could stop me any time and wont find bugger all with it.
Your right he would have to be a tit to drive, knowingly his car is fucked!

Do you know anyone who is mechanically minded, and can do it at 'mates rates' for you?
