You might want to tell us what "various cures" means? Have you tried other cure?
please?
Like what? Where do we start?
What leads you suppose it's running too hot? Is it boiling, does the needle go up too high or what? Maybe you're not running hot, just think you are? We need more info.

Vibration might be propshaft.
Overheating might be blocked radiator.

Not sure about the 2 litre but the 1.7s had a habit of blowing radiator hoses - as I recall you'll be lucky to avoid warping the head (the memory is still painful). Are you losing coolant?

If the 760 uses the same propshaft arrangement as the 740, it could well be the rubber cush used on the gearbox flange to connect to the propshaft. They do wear and start splitting after a good while. I know nothing about the 400 series though.
