The car has been realy great for me never had many major problems with the car.

Perhaps an engineer will contradict me, but my intuition is that it might be a bit foolhardy to attempt radical modification of a high-mileage car. Continue to run it gently and service it properly, and try to get another 100,000 miles out of it.

Would have thought the risk of a chain reaction of minor faults, or even major ones, would be high in the event of converting it now.

Your right, wear and tear, contamination etc will all have occured naturally whilst a conversion is possible only by taking the engine apart will it's internal condtion be known. The car is worth between £1-2K so some work won't be cost effective.

Just contine with regualr service and good oils.
