it can be a number of things so your best bet is to get the fault codes read to save expensive buying parts that may or may not fix it. first impressions to me seem to that its gone in to limp mode another common fault for that mileage is the primary fuel pump £34 ebay engine starts and runs fine but wont rev above 3000 are first symptons due to not enough fuel pressure vac hose on auto box another if your lights come on the dash it will have logged a fault so that's your best start point. hope this helps good look

sounds like a tracking or alignment problem. especially if your old tyres where wearing uneven,. also prone to lower arm play on rubber bushs.check which tyre has the most abnormal wear as this should help pin point the problem hope this helps good look

go for the 2nd hand option , you will have all sorts of problems apart from the head gasket ie, cyl liner damage,corrossion due to no anti freeze to name a few.try to keep replacement engine as close to your year/model/size as possible as you will be swaping parts,wireing,ecu etc it all boils down to time, money,know how.or cut yor losses and sell it

did you reprograme the trim codes on the second hand injectors ?

have you checked the crankcase breather if they block can cause excesive pressure in the sump and blow oil out and the engine to smoke
