What are the symptoms of a surge?

Is the banging & vibration a normal feature of a surge? - and is it normal for an engine to cause the same noises & vibration if the pilot tries to re-start it?
Does anyone know the answer to this?

Also, does anyone (any Heathrow service engineers out there?) know what was actually wrong with this engine? I had a quick look at it as I walked down the front aircraft steps at Manchester, but I couldn't see any obvious sign of damage. Was it just a sticking valve (or something similar)? - or was there any physical damage?

Hope by now that you have received massive compensation for possible aortic imbalance perhaps caused by decision of BA and/or, its servants..
That would be nice
