water in the oil normally means headgasket trouble!:eek:

lol So you fill up the water and it appears in the oil, It dosnt take a genuis to work out cracked head or head gasket.

well ur a brainey one why does it not start then

Utterly funked headgasket or porous head. Likely the 1st.

Your spark plugs are prolly rusting as we speak. Drop in another XE would be the cheapest fix tbh.
