The rear upper arm kit, again right and left, is about £150, and maybe 2-3 hours to do.
I am led to believe rear upper arms are a total bar steward and will most likely need cutting to remove.

Yeah, that is what it looks like to me.
That is why I would leave them for now.
Once the rest is done decide maybe? I would guess if the back end feels really lose when cornering after the rest is done you know it will need doing, but it may feel fine. MY15 BMW 5 Series Touring

Have you got some clunking up front?
The lower arms at the front normally clunk when you jab the brakes on at 10mph.
Advanced Factors do a complete front arm set for £216, and if you call them you can get 5% discount code.
Front discs and pad set from £77.
Rear disc and pad set from £67.
Wear sensors £15 for both.
May as well buy their track rod set as well, track rods, track rod ends and all rubber boots for £59.
Front arms will take 2-3 hours, track rods and ends probably 2 hours, brakes front and rear probably 2 hours.
That is a day, and most indi garages will charge you around £80 an hour so £360.
So around £800 all in.
Obviously you need to consider the oil cooler and the rear upper arm, but I would be asking why it needs to be replaced.
The rear upper arm kit, again right and left, is about £150, and maybe 2-3 hours to do.
The car will probably feel a lot tighter when done.
Even doing the lot I bet you could get an indy to do it all for £5-600 if you agree a price first, especially if you say you will supply all new bolts so he can cut the old ones off saving time.

Thanks all.
Haven't been on the forum for a while!
Yeah quite a few clunks and when braking steering pushes to the left and right...
Will look around for a decent indy, I would rather get a garage to do most the work at the moment so its done and dusted.
Also have a feeling the TC is on its way out  juddering uphill and starting to slip - also a a noise when i let off the accelerator (like a waste-gate sound) Not sure if that is normal or not?
