Ford Focus RS - Help with garage quote please - Dave911

Hi

I've been quoted on the following
A new radiator (after market)
ABS wiring loom (ford)
ABS sensor (after market)
The black catch that stops your door going past a point should it get caught in the wind which it did (ford part)

All in £700 inc labour

This good/bad?

Thanks guys

How old is the car? I can understand why it needs a new door check strap, but why does it need the other parts?

Quote is about right ,if you include parts ,labour and vat . Are the garage confident it needs an abs sensor and wiring spur lead ? Very often abs faults on Focus models are wheel bearing issues.
