Thanks Gareth, I am very new to this and was a bit out of touch with prices, particularly labour. I’d say the lower quote of £200 for the springs sounds pretty good now. i will have to check out the car parts in motion site for sure though. I imagine the job of the radiator should take no more than 2 hours or so too? If so would it be realistic to assume a price around 400-450 for the lot?

My car just failed it MOT due to fractured coil springs and an advisory coolant leak. I need both the front springs replacing and im not 100% on what is a good price at a garage. I have been told by the mechanic who did the MOT that best case for both springs would be £220 and £300 worst case if the bearings need changing too. This isnt even considering the radiator needing to be replaced if thats where the leak is from. I would've imagined say £300 for the lot but 200-300 just for the springs seems steep. Any help would be appreciated. I have a 2007, 1.6 standard a3

Hi all, I am looking at upgrading to an aftermarket stereo and have settled on the Sony XAV AX1000. I have never upgraded a stereo or anything similar before so I am looking for a little help for what I need. I know that I am going to need the dashboard trim which I imagine is pretty standard and can buy anywhere, I know that I will also need the wiring harness. Now with the wiring harness is there anything specific I should know for it or could I use just a universal one, I am not sure if there is any drawback I should note that I don't have the Bose sound system or any amp. Thanks!
