What you need to do is check them yourself as I described above and then you can make the judgement. Pretty simple really.
 
Or, you need a friend to check them out.
 
Or, you need a mechanic you know and trust.
 
Or, you are in the hands of a garage that may well do what is in your interest but I have found that some do what is in their interest and charge accordingly.
 
But I'd say you need your brake sorting asap if it is binding as it will only get worse.
 
You could always get the garage to show you the binding brake and corroded support panel and see if you agree!

Well i've had a look at the engine and I bopped my head underneath the car and to be honest i can see corrosion starting to occur but nothing that looks like a radiators going to drop to me..went underneath the car too and again couldn't see much rust. I'm going to upload some pictures, hopefully they capture what you need to get to as it was difficult to photograph but if i need more am sure you guys will point me in the right direction. But my mainframe was also the same about getting national to show me the binding brake and corroded support panel..espically as then i could take a pic and tell them i'll think about it when really i'll report back here.

I cannot see the rad support panel on any of those pics. This is what I see:
1. View of underbonnet
2. View to drivers side of engine including alternator
3. View of underbonnet (the same as 1.)
 
Well done for checking on the brakes tho.

Well done on the brakes tho.

the brakes? why have you spotted something on the brakes? I haven't had the binding brakes looked at or done yet but am going to get it done..i had a good look underneath and above the area you sent a pic of and tried to get pics too of the same and i can see rust on it but it doesn't look too bad to me..
