    Well done on the mileage. We are going to need more engine info than that to help you.... Year of car, Engine code, 8v or 16v...
    Good luck in getting it sorted. Personally I would take it to an Engine services place and let them refurbish it

    It probably just needs a hone, a set of rings and valves reseated, with new stem seals.
    A new water pump, oil pump, oil cooler and belts, hoses etc, and it'd do another couple of hundred thousand miles I'd bet.
