When the AA guy dropped it off outside my house, we couldn’t release the electronic park brake until he put a jumper on the battery, it’s a safety feature he said. With regards to my friend doing it, yes he’s more than capable, but I don’t think where he works is going to allow him to take it there and have use of all their equipment, not the sort of job you can tackle in the road outside you house either. I have messaged Oval Autos to see what they say

Maybe the AA man didnt know and im surprised your friend hasnt told you! The handbrake can be released mechanically ditto the transmission park its in the manual if you look for it. For exactly that situation

Ok, so the worst of my fears were confirmed. It wasn’t the timing belt, it was an oil pump failure, resulting in a crank seizure. On further inspection, they found metal filings in the oil cooler and excessive play in the turbo. It never rains does it
