Rear subframe mounts

[Sovereignstuart]

I'm not sure where to post this, it's my first post. I've been told that the rear subframe front bushes, or mountings need replacing. The garage is cautious about taking on the work because they don't know whether they will be able to remove and replace them effectively because there is a lot of corrosion around the mounts. It's a 1997 Sovereign, it is a little rusty in places, but I'm not sure whether to spend money on it. The slack mounts show themselves on take up on the accelerator, a clonk through the prop shaft, and a kick from the rear. It's a wonderful car otherwise, my Dad's in fact, only had it a week but I'd like to keep it a few years longer. Is this an expensive job? Not sure where to go and get advice. I'm in Middlesex near Heathrow, London.

With thanks.
