List as follows -

Tax - £115
Rear discs and pads and wheel bearings £150
Dampers all round - £200

I have no sympathy. You get to drive a 172.

It felt fine. It was just the annoying whirrrrring sound that increased with speed! Totally silent now! The handling is so much more improved it's unreal. This thing can really go round corneres now! Could do with some better tyres but they've got plenty of tread left so going to leave it for a while!

Not by much, thats all typical pricing but the labour costs could have been ditched.

Chances are all those parts wont have worn out all at the same time. Probably in different states of wear but decided to replace all in the one go
