    Its my mothers car, she hasnt got the quote yet. Car went in for a standard service and to get a wheel bearing changed which came to € 280.00 and then the garage gave the above list of work. They are to ring today/tomorrow with a estimate.

    Shouldn't be horrendous. None of those jobs are beyond a DIY mechanic tbh.

    So she is probably talking around €300, what about the seriousness of the faults ?

    Front brake pads and discs - Serious fault. it is essential to be able to stop!
    Gearbox reverse sensor No big deal
    Rear anti roll bar drop links Worn suspension parts can be dangerous.
    Front left anti roll bar drop links
    and oil leaking badly through the rocker cover gasket It's only a gasket. Depends how much oil is getting out.

    HTH.
