Only problem is the rear caliper that came off! I cant afford any of it atm so none of it is being done

WTF do you need pads and Discs for?

Radiator is a piece of piss to do, fudge two hour labour, more like ten minutes!

The rear calipers have munched the discs and pads on the back im told.

WTF? Maybe the pads on the side the caliper has come off.

Not damaged the hub then?

Didnt say there was, just sent me that list.
If the hub is fine then i'll just get them to drop it at mine and i'll pay them delivery and collection moneys, source tha calipers and pursuade you to come help me change it all

Mrtwos for clutch probably.
