Had another play with it this morning, pulled the Dip Stick out and wrapped some amalgamating tape around the top of it and used a washing machine water hose as a stethoscope on it so I could try and listen inside the Crank Case.

Apart oil splashing around and crank noise all I could really hear was the really loud top end noise coming through with a slight hint of a bottom end mid range da,da,da noise.

My verdict is its shagged, and not worthy of a couple of oil and filter changes, but  :-\

Voices in my head were whispering, "walk away, walk away now;)

The Car will be going to St Peters Gates on Friday, so without sounding like a For Sale Thread, which this is not, anyone wants to take on a Project, pm me and you can talk to the owner directly.
