Toyota Corolla Rattle

My mates 1.6 16v vvti recently died with a "tractor like rattle" on a Motorway near us. Had a full service in January, 55k miles on an 03 plate I think... partial seize... oil pump is the suspect...
 
Good plan M.E.P! Oil pressure test should reveal anything, my mates died very suddenly, little warning except for the rattle & oil light which lit up at the same time at 70MPH... :eek: I really didnt think that was a very Toyota thing to do... niether did he... he's now waiting for a couple of quotes... 1 for a replacement lump, the other for a re-build. That one single incident has put him right off Toyota... despite it being a proper pearl all its life.
