Front disks and pads ~ £80 on TC plus the sensor cable ~£8. New tyres are about £60 a corner, do all 4 not just 3. Inner tyre wear possiby due to Geometry, £60 at WIM to have it set up. ARB no idea but cant be more than a few quid. Add costs of fitting the parts if you dont do it yourself.

Sounds like ~ £500 worth to me, assuming you dont need to do the steering idler or wishbones.

Question is, what is it worth to you, does everything else work  ? Spend £500 and keep it a while to get your moneys worth or buy something else that may have the same problems anyway and end up spending on a replacement car and then having to fix it up....

It doesn't have a rack - steering box instead
