Impreza engine noise - diagnosis?

[Rollcage]

I bought an Impreza Wagon a couple of weeks ago, and it now sounds like this - http://s687.photobucket.com/albums/vv233/jakethegs...

Sounds to me like bearing failure - that start-up is from stone cold.

Can anybody concur on this diagnosis?

TIA

Does it all the time now. Knocking it's tits off during the MOT, and now from cold also.

It's for sale as is - I'm not spending that much in it. I'd rather get another car!

It's almost tempting to go for some real power, but it was just bought as a weekend toy, not something to throw money in to.

A shame, but that's life sometimes.

Pm'd you.

Yup!

Going next week, and I've found a replacement, so I'm reasonably happy, if a little poorer for the experience
