Don't know what car this is but had a similar problem with an S40 Volvo 1.8i. Garage said engine was shot (needed replacement), turned out to be a blocked flame trap in the crankcase breather system. Cost nought but time to sort. Had to remove inlet manifold. It's run perfect ever since and cruised thru the MOT emmisions test.
