i had a 2.3 and apart from the usual inlet manifold problems (made of plastic and prone to cracking  ),mechanically never really missed a beat,mine was always serviced on the button,and semi synthetic oil was always used,i also had the ultima,and the spec was amazing,personally thought the 2.3 was excellent all round,and from what you have posted what it owes you,you hve had a result...

I'll say,  I paid £35 for a very second hand one off an internet mail order scrappy site.
