Default Newbie says hi....and needs help

Hi, after many years wanting one (waiting for insurance to come down) i finally have my scoob. Just bought a 98 standard turbo 2000 and tbh its been a nightmare!! Had it 2 weeks and its spent 10 days in the garage. Various oil leaks (filter and sump) heatshield corroded behind repair, stonechips from hell and clutch pedal sticking down.Not a happy bunny, especially with the 5hitbag i got it from. Anyway what i need is some recommendations for garages around the Peterborough area who know what they are doing to fix another oil leak. Also looking to get a respray for the whole car, any idea's on how much i'll be looking at. Apart from that its been great!! Thanks for any advice given and look forward to spending time on this forum.
