Below I have copied & pasted the responce that I got from our Top Man member deMort,
Basically the car went in and as expected they went over it with a magnifying glass and came up with a host of issues, some I expected, front tyres being 6 yrs old and front discs/pads close to the limit 80% worn, the funny thing about the discs is when it went to them in March is was recommended that the pads to be 50% worn and the discs to be changed as an advisory, if I've done 200 miles since then I would be surprised
:dont know:
Some goods new tho, rear suspension arm bushes was flagged up at a cost of £1476 and these are being done under warranty
deMort message below will highlight some others...

Hello young man !
I do have to chuckle when i see these video reports ... not a single under tray removed to check the brake pipes that run the entire length of the car i see .
I'm not laughing at the cost of the items they want to replace though .. its a total joke ..
first off get any work needed done at an indy !!!
ok the list ..
front brake pipe .. just wax oil ..
Rear brake pipe .. a bit worse , I've not seen them fail there so you have a choice either leave and wax oil or have them replaced .. I've seen worse though that again were not leaking .
Cracking on the front tyres is normal at that age .. you need to use the car more often !
I would leave until needed but no more than a year or 2 .
The sensors he keeps on about .. its for the head light levelling system .. i would just wax oil and leave till they break but up to you there .. car wont crash and burn if either of them breaks .. which again I've not seen on one of these yet !
Exhaust leaks at the tail pipe .. and er .. so what .. that's the bit the gases exit from .. it makes no difference what so ever .
If they replace those clamps then they will leak from new so totally pointless and its a silencer removal job to change them .. just for info , when the car is due plugs they will be changed then , we have to cut them off to remove the silencers .
Flange studs .. I've seen worse but they will need doing sooner or later so i would suggest book it in at an Indy .. no rush and have these only changed ..
Its about 2 hrs labour plus parts .. my place and that's about .. hmm .. say £250 .
What was the problem with the window fault ?
If one touch inop then it needs a new switch .. warranty .. if the window on one touch rolls back when halfway up it needs a new motor .. also warranty .
