Sold the Corsa yesterday , but the bloke wanted 12 months MOT, and it failed today on three things...

-Track rod end, worn to excess
-Rear wheel bearing, Excessive freeplay
-Outer CV boot insecure

Does anyone have any idea how much these parts are going to be and if they're a big job to sort, as the bloke at the garage was shutting, so wasn't really too interested.

cheers

Tie rod would be about £40 inc labour
Wheel bearing abotu £50
CV boot is a 5min job to put a clip on it.
So I'd save about £100 all in for a garage to do it, or if you know what you're doign then about £40

The bloke said ABOUT £75 + VAT, so £88ish.

Wheel bearing....just take the wheel off, remove the dust cap, remove split pin, tighten it right up, then undo 1 turn, so its not loose, but the wheel can still turn freely, then re-assemble.
Cable tie the CV boot.
Replace track rod end.
