206D scrap or repair?

I had hoped that my 206D with 90,000 mls on the clock that I've had from new (Dec2000 X reg) would last me another 5 years at least. My normal garage told me they couldn't repair the Suspension radius arm bearings at it needed a specialist Peugeot tool. The Peugeot dealer has quoted me £1100 quid as both sides have gone and so has the axle.

Value is £1200.

Any suggestions as to my options greatfully appreciated.

I'm afraid changing a fuse is my limit on a car. The problem is the non Peugeot garage say they can't do it that it has to be done by a Peugeot dealer.

You can buy these arms from a number of motor out-lets.i have looked on car-parts and they do them,europarts. aswell as camberley autos. so give them all a try and go for it.then have fun fitting them in.from chris addlestone surrey.

I think this is the place that Chris had in mind but they only actually mention rear suspension. Having said that, a phone call is not expensive and they may well know somebody who does front ends if they don't themselves.

. I can heartily recommend them from personal experience. If you drive down there (by appointment) they will fit a reconditioned supension in a couple of hours or so.

A local garage I hadn't been to before has recommened findapart.com to get the axle and then they'll fit it.

FindaPart deal with breakers so you will be getting a used unit. Could be OK but you could also be no better off after a while. Good luck anyway.
