Default MOT Failure - Rear Trailing Arm Bushes

Just had my 2004 Ford Focus ST170 MOT'd today, unfortunately failed due to rear trailing arm bushes.


Looking to get the job done, looked through various threads regarding this issue and it seems like the cost involved really varies depending on the garage's ability to carry out the job fairly quickly keeping labour costs low.


Does anyone have any recommendations of places to go in Wiltshire to get this work done or any experiences of this issue and how much it cost you?


Any help or advice would be massively appreciated as I'm looking to get this sorted as cheap as possible.


Cheers

Yes he still has the 3dr and Ant is in cheney Manor.

And Mark why are you paying someone to work on your cars.....

Andy will do you a good deal.
