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.

Just been checking the headlights on my zed prior to its mot and have noticed that the nearside main beam bulb is a lot dimmer than the offside one.
Also the high beam on the nearside doesnt work....
Any ideas before i start pulling it apart ?
