And when you eventually sell, I wouldn't even tell any new buyer that the engine's been replaced, for fear of raising any doubts in their minds as to if the car hadn't been looked after.
Just dropped it off and saw the job card, it's a full new engine, new turbocharger, the lot. Quite surprised really, but not complaining!
Sounds like a good result then.

Got the car back at lunchtime and have a drive around. Some things are immediately apparent:

* The rattle has gone
* The vibration at idle which was getting quite bad is no longer present. I can sit at lights and touch the dashboard and not feel a thing. New spark plugs probably helped there or tightened/new engine mounts
* The bearing type noise worst on startup but ever present (posted previously with a vid is gone, or at least not loud enough to be heard over other noise. Probably was one of the pulleys on the engine.
* The high frequency noise which could be heard whenever ignition was on but engine was off is no longer present.

Early days, but so far so good. Fingers crossed the oil consumption has gone now too.
