   Think it's 350 for a refurbed beam from IM axles when you give your old one as px
   
   Post in their section for details

   You can risk it and buy a used beam from a scrappy for around £100, but chances are that won't last long and you will be in the same position.
   
   Therefore, as mentioned above, best bet will be to buy one from im axles. More expensive, but you know you will be getting a freshly refurbed beam of very good quality, also with the added bonus of a guarantee.

   An axle specialist local to me fully refurbishes rear beams for £250 and that includes lowering aswell (if you want it to be lowered that is), ask around your area if there are any similar sorta garages!
