  1. That does sounds like a drama which you could do without
    If it is regenerating then the engine temperature usually increases but sometimes there are conditions that require fulfilling before regen can take place.
    For example; sufficient level of fuel, unaltered continuous speed for a minimum period of time, etc

    If any of these aren't being carried out (consult your handbook for specific conditions) then this may compromise the regen

    Also worth trying premium diesel fuel from a branded fuel station (BP, Esso, Shell, etc)

  2. Going from Xenon to Halogen may be a little difficult as the Xenon lights are self adjusting via suspension links and to fit standard headlights to adjust them for height may be a little difficult but probably not impossible.
    Also, the Xenon Ballasts carry high voltages so wiring may be an issue

  3. Well firstly it sounds like the earth electrode has been eroded away without leaving any material in the cylinders causing piston or valve damage
    As long as the compression is okay then there is half a chance of rescuing the engine if little else has occurred

    I would scan the injectors to see what duration and pulse width they have to determine a faulty injector on that cylinder and replace if necessary
    Once running then see how the spark plug fairs after a run and look at the colour of the electrodes on all cylinders for a comparison.
