Hello

Im new to this site so apologies if i have posted in the wrong place!!!

I have a Y-Reg golf TDi, high mileage (151k) and the heater matrix has recently had to be disconnected after daily filling of my engine coolant and due to leaking in the front passenger foot well.

Ive had quotes of £300-400 pound to replace it and not knowing anything about cars im wondering is this about right or can i get it done cheaper? I do appreciate its a big job due to the dash etc having to come out first but time of year etc i dont want to be paying over the odds.

To top it all off its due an MOT this week so im panicking big time as im aware it will need new pads and discs in the near future and possibly whatever else it fails on!

Or should i just sell the thing and get a cheap run around untill im back on my feet as i cant really afford a new car at the moment, hence the penny pinching!?

thanks for any advice, it is appreciated
