Nice one Elite Pete, I should have thought of that but it does look as if the bonnet rarely gets lifted.

I hope when my time comes to ask for help i dont get some of the patronising drivel i am reading on here.

a car at 190K miles with many owners , if not serviced properly with proper coolant mixture  at normal periods can eat HG easily !!

in that case I would not worry much about oil in water..

have a compression test.. and although some may not agree, there are analysers that can sniff the gases from coolant tank which also give some idea and if also you have missfires dont spend extra on that car before some experienced oofers see the car and approve!

I would suggest filling the oil to the top mark of the dipstick and then check it weekly especially on an engine with that sort of mileage. Its normal for an engine to wear with use and a bit of oil being burned off is normal. I would get the oil cooler checked though.
