They use a 'family 1' engine, very common in GM cars, any decent motor factors would be able to source them for you with the reg/chassis number.

Ok, anything I can do to prolong what's left of the engine for a couple of months till tax etc runs out ? By the time all is done would cost too much and car isn't worth it,only for the fact it's taxed and tested I prob wouldn't bother much.

You could try one of those 'magic' oil additives. Ask your local motor factor.
