Needs Back brakes, Cv boot and joint, brake pipes (been bad for 3 years) also oil change, brake fluid change drain and refill coolant system and repair oil leak.
CV Boot and joint is a peice of pee, but a hub puller and track rod splitter from halfrauds, about 20 quid. then a new joint is about 20 quid too,
Undo hub nut while wheel is on and car is sat ont eh ground, use a scaffold pole and a 30mm socket. litrally, off with the wheel, two bolts for suspension leg, ball joint and track rod off. pull the hub using the tool, then get a hammer, give the cv joint a good smack from the rear and it just come off, then reversal. 2 hour job perhaps for a first timer.
oil change is a 10 min job, undo sump plug, drain oil. refit sump plug and refil oil.
coolant, 30 min job, undo bottom hose on rad, let all the water drain out. refil with 50% water, 50% anti-freeze. turn the heater on full, leave the expansion cap off, and run the motor, topping up when nessesary and squeezing pipes here and there, once the fan kicks in, on with the cap and your done.
oil leak will need more explanation.
brakes should cost no more than 40£ for an hours work bleeding them. changing rear calipers is easy too, second hand caliper from a car being broken is perhaps 20£ most, 30 min job to change so half hours labour at garage if you supply the brake calipers.
brake pipes will need doing though by a prof mechanic if you dont have the tools...
