Given the various issues with the K5 and my relatively remote (from UK) location, I've decided to keep what I have and wait a few years for newer models.
Hopefully Pentax will have learned some valuable lessons by then and will again be producing trustworthy bodies.

The guy outside the church probably only wants notes as he can obviously afford Nike trainers

I hadn't checked for any typically British birds as these are in southern Spain.
Perhaps the very cold winter you've had has driven these further south than normal.

If I put my Super A in Av mode (camera set to auto with lens set to a numeric aperture, rather than "A") as I would with K or M lenses, will TTL flash still work?
TTL flash is controlled by a sensor within the mirror box. It, together with its associated electronics, measures the light reflected from the film and quenches the flash to give the correct exposure.
TTL flash is also available on early Pentax DSLR's (*istD, *istDS & *istDS2) but has been superseded by P-TTL flash. Newer Pentax DSLR's do not have the mirror box mounted sensor and so cannot measure the light reflected from the sensor.
