    Didn’t pass the NCT today. Apparently the front suspension anti roll bar bushes and links are damaged.

    Car has exactly 100k km on it. 1.4L petrol saloon

    How much am I looking at to get fixed €150 sound reasonable?

    Cheers to ye all

    I think the labor will cost even more than 150eur. Add the parts and it can be over 200eur. I can look the parts price, but I need the vin number, not the registration number. I know the most of local mechanics works only by reg number, I go more advance and directly to the manufacturers catalogue.

    Parts wise I got bushes for 20 euro total for my polo and the roll bars were 30 total

    Not really a big job to change them, if your any way handy you could do it yourself on a sunny day

    An hours labour and whatever the parts cost at your local motor factors. €150 would be expensive IMO.

    It will almost certainly just be one or more of the links rather than the bushes. The bushes don't give trouble but the links are a common issue. About €40 each fitted for non genuine.
