    generally good advice to replace the clutch while the box is out if it hasn't been replaced recently. There would generally be no extra labour charge.

    Yes that is right, clutch from a cheap independent garage around 330 euro, don't know about the gearbox.

    Get the clutch done as the part is cheap'ish but its the labour that costs, so do it once.

    Take some serious time to consider jumping ship as it's gonna cost the guts of what the cars worth.

    What did he quote you €2000+ ?

    If so you could probably buy a more reliable motor for that (i know it sucks atm as you are left w/o a car) but its alot to invest into a car you probably only use for A to B of that year/make
