Going up to Brdford this afternoon with my middle son to look at a very nice Ra, lets hope we have a bit more luck.

Good luck with it all
On a WRX I had years back. I had what sounded like a bottom end go. I took it to the stealers. They said definately bottom end and wanted big bucks. It sounded like the bottom end - I wasnt convinced. I took it too my AA patrol mate - again verdict bottom end. I took it to an independent subaru mechanic - turned out to be the water pump! So get a second and third view of it as sometimes what sounds terminal isnt. (as in the tensioner example given above). A compression test is your best bet.
