Hiya guys,

Just been for an MOT and failed... just need advice on some of the points and how much they'll probably cost to do.

Nearside rear (outer sill) suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded. (The bloke who did the MOT said it would require some welding.)

Nearside rear Sub-frame rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement

Offside rear Sub-frame rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (Apparently these are common Ford faults.)

Bear in mind that I'm not technical in the slightest so will need a garage visit.. what prices do you think are reasonable?

Thanks in advance for your help!
