yep - if the car is legitimate kms, you need a major service....

main thing is the timing belt needs to be replaced, and normally whilst this is being done, cam seals normally need replacing (as they are prone to leaking) . It is Normally a reasonably $$ service as engine needs to come apart to get to the belt etc. Can't remember all the other things they did to mine at 100 clicks, might have had a few gaskets replaced?

Starts shopping around for quotes NOW.

Ask in the vic sectionf or good mechanics and quotes they've been given, its a huge service and you want it done right.
