sounds like an engine out job..

overheat could be low water in the rad ???/
or a head gasket ? is the oil filler cap sludgy when u take it off?

rumble sounds like either a clutch relese bearing or idle gear but hard to
say without listening.. does it go away when u put your foot on the clutch ?

Would that be Clubman and Thermostat?

Have you run a crud remover through the system?
Grab some from Repco/SuperCheap, follow instructions, worked well for me.
Also make sure you use some antifreeze/coolant - keeps corrosion in the
cooling system at bay.

Rumbling viabration? - Wheel bearings or cv joints perhaps...  or something
not done up quite tight enough?

Perhaps it's no the drivetrain but something like the bearings in the
generator/altenator going? or the water pump? I've had this before.

Unless you feel like removing parts one by one and checking for the noise -
I'd take it to a specialist suspension and steering place and see what they
can do you for you.
