So this masochist (thanks Colvert)

has another question for you all, I gave it a good run last night and when I pulled up and turned off the engine the exhaust sounded like it was gurgling for about 20 seconds - any thoughts?

Arghhhhhh the metalic tapping/ knocking is back again once the car is fully warmed up and done 5 or 6 miles and again only between 2500 and 3000 RPM when I'm maintaining throttle particulary when in 2nd gear.

This problem aside the car pulls like a train, handles well and does everything it should.

As an aside the exhaust still sounds like its gurgling when I pull up after I turn the engine off.

Did you ever measure the oil pressure with a proper gauge?

No because the noise sounds very mechanical. Incidentally since I've completed all the work the oil light has not come on whilst stood in traffic like it did before. I'm pulling my hair out now
