I dont mind trying to find the problem, but if its head gasket failure I wont be doing a top end rebuild.
If it is that, it will be a matter of deciding if its worth paying a garage to do it, or sell as spares / repairs and then buy another car.

Fitted a new battery to the RRS , followed the installation advice to the letter thankfully no warning lights or malfunctions showing 👍

MOT today Omega 2001. All ok. When lifted up engineer realized that rear brake brake tube in right side had started to leak perhaps during brake test in dynamometer. Brakes were ok. So not accepted. Have to change both of those long tubes from ABS to rear. Good

Put some more electricity in it yesterday, despite using it a few times in the week....   ....to do about 800 yards to the shops/chippy

Changed the wiper motor on SWMBO's Citroen C3.
A few months back the high speed packed in on it, no big deal as she doesn't go far enough or fast enough to need it, but on the suggestion of a neighbour who works at Peugeot bought a used clock spring assembly to relace the switch (in their infinite wisdom all the column switches are part & parcel of the clock spring assembly  ) Needless to say, it didn't fix it.
Out of interest I phoned Citroen for the price of a new motor, assuming it comes as an assembly with the linkages .... how much could it be? 
Over £400! 
The new motor was £35 & took 1/2 hr to fit  (ignoring the fact that the motor arrived a week or two back but this is the 1st time it's stopped raining! )

Drove it into central Londonium due to no parking again at either of the Bicester stations.

Still, despite the torrential rain, it's faster, cheaper and more comfortable that using the railway, even if an XJ isn't the most ideal car for the tight back roads in the city, same issues as driving it through the roads of St Ives

You could always park in a side road at the town end of Langford Village. Then cut through the park on foot and it brings you out by the level crossing, where you can cross over and go across the foot bridge to the Bicester Village station. It takes less than ten minutes from car to station on foot. 
It was just a thought if you’re ever stuck for parking and really need to go on the train, although I’d agree that going in your own car is nicer.

Yeah, I even have a driveway there I can park it on, although will had an extra 4 or 5 minutes, but less likely to piss locals off or sustain damage....
