Good to hear you've got to the bottom of the issue, and sounds like although expensive it was worth having the car looked at - least you know it'll be tip top for plenty of enjoyment over summer.
You can also take plenty of comfort in the car being in the vest hands with Mr Vanos - Steve is bloody brilliant.

Thanks for that, though it's a bit late as I decided to already go for OEM for the whole oil pump setup - Mr Vanos and Hack Engineering both recommended that..
Yup... Or benefit of the doubt - It could've worked loose hitting a bad pothole in the dark on the 300 mile journey home from Cornwall

Good luck with claiming off the seller, if they are a private seller as opposed to a dealer, then not sure you have any recourse, when items are sold as seen etc. Dealers have a different duty of care, and different laws covering them, but still would be difficult pinning a mechanical failure 'after' purchase. Could just be bad luck.
I once sold the other half's Seat to a young couple - £750. About a week after they got in touch saying it was running rough, asking had it been like this before. I was pretty sure it would be a coil pack having replaced another earlier that year, and it had been sat for about 4 months unused. Out of pity and guilt I bought another, drove to their house and fitted it - cured. It was £20, 1 hour of my time, and a very relieved young couple.
