My 206 has just failed its MOT quite badly, so just need to know how much I'm looking at for repairs as a guide (going back to the garage next week!)
Here's the main things it failed on....
- front anti roll bar linkage has excessive play ina pin/bush 2.4.G.2
- Offside front anti roll bar linkage has excessive play ina pin/bush 2.4.G.2
- Offside front anti roll bar linkage ball dust cover excessively damaged so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt 2.4.G.2
- Parking brake lever has no reserve travel 3.1.6b
- Rear brake application uneven 3.7.A.5c
- Parking brake efficiency below requirements 3.7.A.10
Seriously on the verge of a mental breakdown at how much this is gonna cost! Any advice muchos appreciated :o)

both anti roll bar links are uder £20 from euro car parts
brakes will need strip down and cleaning new shoes/pads are quite cheap then rebuild and readjust the handbrake.
tbh its not that bad a list looks alot worse than it is.
are you doing yourself or getting garage to sort for you as that will be your biggest cost the parts are cheap its the labour cost that add up.

2 new front drop links. £40 fitted? Rear brake shoes need changing hand brake adjusting. Wouldn't cost much I would have thought.

you could go onto euro car parts website put in your reg and get the price for the parts then you will have a rough idea of parts cost.

that sounds about right time wise as said parts will be 40-60 ish depending on where they get them from but if local motor factors (like most garages) that should be about right.
then its down to there labour costs

they should be able to give you a quote before they do the work, so if it seems a bit steep try elsewhere.
but its all easy work to sort out do you not have a mate/family member that could do the work for you for beer tokens.

drop link will be 10-20 each;
about the rear brakes it depends whether you got drum or disc.
for drums it will be more expensive; drum will be around 40 each and shoe will be 30 per axle; bearing will 15 each.
disc i think is around 40 per axle and around 20 for pads.
around 1 hr labor top i guess?
