Damn Matt, You've not had a good start to 180 ownership at all !

Has an issue with the oil cooler been ruled out completely ?

If it has been ruled out then I'd have to agree with Dan, you'd be better off sourcing a good used engine and swapping it out. There's a lad called Sam Tomkins on the MG ZS Owners Club on Facebook. He's quite well known within the MG community and he may be able to help you with an engine and possibly fitting of it, definitely worth getting in touch with him.

Will be a damn sight cheaper then £1800 too.

Would be a real shame to break her up but it's your car and your decision to make regardless of what the previous owners may think.
