sod paying £200 for an unknown beam, you can get all the bits you need to rebuild one for around £150.
getting another beam shouldn't be too hard, but tbh if you can afford to have the car off the road a short while you're best off removing yours and sorting that out, given your trailing arms and brake setup isn't that common.
unless impact damaged, its not necessary to replace the trailing arms, though the shafts pressed into them that the bearings in the tube run on do wear, as do the tubes if they are left to wear too far.
