you can check all rockers are working correctly and not got worn valve cap or broken/worn brass follower but also obviously could be blown piston,or head gasket removal would show,on the not so bad side can get decent disco 200 for £200,which is often cheaper than repair ,unless head gasket or valve not opening fully

check for compression pressure of each cylinder. and it should not less than 17 bar.If it is ok then check for air cleaner chocking. replace air filter element if chocked.
