Failed on;

- Nearside front brake ferrule (??) excessively corroded,
- Offset fron brake hose excessively deteriorated,
- Nearside front brake pipe excessively corroded,
- Offside front track rod end balljoint has excessive play.

Fail enough i suppose...i've booked it in for a repair and retest for tuesday but how much is this going to cost me to put right?

On a related note i got an advisory on the rear chassis being rusty?!

In parts prolly no more than £20-£30, i'd say for a half decent mechanic prolly couple of hours work, maybe a couple more depending on how familier they are with the clio

£30 and a few hours of your own work

No time to fix myself and its not a job i'd enjoy doing TBH.

That sounds ok...guess where looking at about 100quid or thereabouts?

Depends on labour rates, tbh can't even remember last time car was in a garage for anything other than an MOT

Ball joint - £10ish (if that)
15m bundy pipe - £10ish
Union - £0.99 each - x4
0.5ltr Brake fluid - £4.99

Thats £29, and you'll need about 1-2mtrs of bundy pipe
