Not good news to get mate but look at it positively, it will be back better than before.
Always a pita mate. But as said the car will handle so much better once everything sorted
Not great, but at least once it's done you can look forward (hopefully) to a few years trouble-free. Fingers crossed the play isn't the ball joints.

Brembo calliper seized and more work
Bad day! As said though, once sorted you'll hopefully notice the difference & have a while before the next expense.

She’s back.... feels so much better to drive, almost weird having front brakes that actually work XD
Good news your 'set'; and the beast is feeling better than ever Chris. Nice ! Hefty bill for sure though bud 
Wipers though man...come on. Don't tell me you didn't notice. Or was it the fact you couldn't see out to tell if they were working properly
Brakes again is run of the mill stuff on these. I've had mine stripped / cleaned / lubed 3 if not 4 times in just over 2 years....apart from the first time; always as preventative medicine re; seizing and of course to keep them working at their best.
My point being these cars perhaps more than most; require a little now and again. They don't wanna completely bleed you dry - just have a little delve into the account every now and again to remind you you're an RS owner. So you either do that - or; pay it all at once.......
Bullshit aside. Glad your happy and its feeling awesome.***What did you actually get / what needed doing for your £££££ out of interest ?

Haha the wipers were shot and thought about doing them myself but the recent dry spell and knew the mot was around the corner I decided not too.
Brakes were looked at only in November at same time it was in for its belts, I knew the discs and pads were in need but not so soon and at the point of being so bad.
I’m not the most handy of people on the tools but I do try keep the RS in tip-top condition.
Aside the above the breakdown is....
Mot
Service
Tracking
2 droplinks
Tie rod
2 front discs
2 front brake pads
Labour
Tax

Oh my! Think of it as a little treat for the RB rather than a punishment of the financial nature
