Try contacting your local friendly indie for an idea of costs.

1. The arch liner itself? 70-80 quid in my experience.
2. Cracked coolant bottle if it's only a minor leak.
3. 20 quid ish
4. The whole piece of trim? Phone a breaker, probably £££ new.
5. £130ish
6. £5 from a scrappy
7. £5 from a scrappy
8. £30 for pads, £50 for discs, 2 hours for a dealer to fit.
9. Nylon seat bushes broken, very cheap if they're available separately.
10. This is a bugger of a job depending on how they've been done. Ask a car audio place.

Have you already bought or looking to buy?
