jus got it back from the garage:

New spark plugs
New oil filter
All fluids changed
New clutch
3 bolts for rear something (around the brakes, other ones were fucked

)
New CV Boot
2 New wheel cylinders

so that was:

fit new clutch,
full service
adjust anti roll bar
check and reset tracking
fit arratic idling and smoking
bleed brakes, and ease in
new n/s/ handbrake thing?
fit new cv boot.

all in all, £600

Parts: = £179.90
Labour = £320

he only charged for 8 hours labour too, when it was 12.

car feels so much better now, can actually get it in gear

plus it idles so much better and the power is much smoother, it actually goes somewhere in 2nd n 3rd
