It will cost plenty of money if you take it to a mechanic.

It happened at home, you are blessed. You have the benefit of a second opinion and city prices. Sounds good karma to me .
See ya next time.

Well prob solved....
the leaking gear box was from a loose drain plug - thank goodness!!
the rest of the damage they found looks a little like this:
new shock bush's all over - had absolutley bleep themselves
new steering dampner
sway bar bush
then we got the usual wheel balance, alignment and rotation....
frnt diff oil replaced
then they have the hide to charge you and environmental levy and work
shop consumables levy as
well!!!
Got a couple of other bush's that gotta get done next week...
