After your thoughts

Hi!
We have a 2004 2l petrol automatic which we bought off a family friend that is now in need of quite a bit of work. I’ve got a quote and it’s booked in to get work done, we’ve decided to get it sorted and keep it - hopefully with a good few years pain free motoring ahead. Just not sure we’re doing the right thing and wondering what others would do.
Overall it drives great, has had a gearbox oil leak but looks like it’s been caught in time, this is what needs doing. Would you stump up the money to get it right or let it go?
Full service
Brakes - discs and pads all round and serviced
ATF pipe repair - replacement required
Over box cooling pipe replacement
Rear matrix leaking coolant - this will be bypassed in order to fix
Cam cover oil gasket and Clips for air box
Timing belt - oil seals and pipes were required
Coolant alarm
Undersealed
It would be interesting to know how many of you would keep and fix or call it a day, and what do you think we should be paying to get this work done to a high standard?
