The barge?

Yeah, this is in the Delica

f**king hell i thought the things my car failed on back in May were bad, first MOT attempt on mine i had to have my brake pipes replaced, new brushes for the engine i think they were, new headlight bulb as apparently when it got MOTd last 2 years ago it had the wrong bulb fitted  :hunf:, new wiper blades and a couple of other small things and it all came to £245 including labour!  :shock: I suppose this was all due to the car being sitting there for like 8 months before i got round to putting it back on the road again in May when i passed my test, How much is all that work going to cost you soopahfly if you decide to have the repairs done?

Im looking at 200 beans for the parts, not including postage or labour.

you should have spotted all them before you brought it!

The noise it must make over bumps would be pretty bad too id imagine

Hard to hear over the sound of metal on metal.

it least its all in the same places.  Get it up on some stands, get the bits off, get the them cleaned and replaced.  Couple of days leisurely work.

How much of it can you do yourself?

Dont think theres anything on the list Id be unwilling to at least attempt myself.

I feel for you, but atleast you could do the disks and pads maybe?

My car has failed on a lot more before and, thanks to help from Knighty, it cost me much less to get through my MOT.

yeah, thats all easy stuff.... ball jointes etc.. can be a PITA sometimes... but its easier / less hastle then having to weld it up

None of it I can do myself.
Since moving out into the new flat, I no longer have access to my dads tools.

socket set, couple of spanners, balljoint splitter, tyre lever to pry the balljoint out with and a couple of axle stands.

= same cost as someone else doing it.

But then next year you can do it all again with minimal outlay.  The wisest investment I have ever made has been spending some money on decent tools.  Also worth bearing in mind that begging/borrowing/stealing someone elses gash tools can be useful.
