I feel like a blown headgasket is the go to diagnostic of these cars. I was told very much the same many years ago and it was a split water pipe and a dodgy MAF sensor. Took about 10 minutes for someone with knowledge to diagnose.
The best specialist in the country isn’t far from the places you’re taking. I also would assume that you must of paid more than tuppence for the car as they aren’t cheap these days. It’s got to be worth getting an expert to give it the once over. If it is dead, I recon he will even have a good contact for getting rid of that’s the case.

Someone posted up a long time ago details of gizmos that sit on top of your strut towers and adjust your ride hieght, bit like mini airbags.
But cos I have a memory like, oh what was that thing again :D I can't remember what it was or who it was made by.
Anyone remember?
