I was quoted £700 for mine,unless you are attached to the car or it is in top nick,I wouldn't bother. Sorry if that's bad news!

G'day
Auto shops here in US have a flat rate book that gives
the time it should take an auto tech to perform the job
giving you the customer a reasonable estimate before work
is agreed upon.
Also I may add that once inside your engine other problems
can be found driving the final costs of the repairs.

Your description ,would indicate to me eng,overheated.head gaskets for sure and you may have cracked head or warped head,also should you do the work or hire it done,Flush and drain
transaxle 3 times,because the fluid has also been overheated.
