Sounds like early stage of head gasket failure.
Get the head off asap, before anymore damage is done.
Im sure your gararge mate will do this, but id strongly recomend a head pressure test and possible skim. If the waters pressurising then the head may be a little warped or at worst have a crack!
Hopefully as said around £150 and a weekends work and you be back on the road!
