the trap for the tub needs to be below the drain line. what you have now is a full 's' trap and will syphon whether you have a vent or not..
continue your trench all the way to the wall beside the tub and put the studor vent in that wall behind an access panel.

Thanks for the info, yeah that's just my poor drawing on the trap, it will be the correct one
If there's away without using that end wall it would be preferred, that walls going to be fully tiled whereas the partition wall I'm building and hoping to use I'll be able to have the access panel in the side that isn't in the bathroom as it will be just drywall and i can put an access panel in and it will be covered by furniture.
Can something like this work ?

the drawing with 'less thsn 5 ft' written on it will be good.
use a 'y' for the vent connection not a tee.
the studor vent will have a threaded end so it will screw into a female adapter.
also. 2 inch pipe is the minimum size allowed underground so you will need a 2 inch sanitary tee to tie into the existing drain.

Thanks for the info Packy! appreciate it
Coule of questions:
1. Am i right in thinking the Studor vent does NOT have to be above the flood rim ?
2. I'll use a Santee at the junction into the existing 2" drain, a sweeping 90' at the 90' bend and then a santee put in backwards or a Y to go upto to the vertical for the studor , is that correct ?

This setup look ok ?
ill then go into a Santee at the 2" drain (not in the picture) and come up vertical with a studor vent into the partition.

the fitting to use is called a 'slip' coupling. it is simply a coupling that is smooth inside (no stop in the middle).
only problem is you have to work quickly or the glue sets up with fittings in the wrong orientation.

How the hell do you get these slip fittings to work!!
When you add all the glues then slide the fitting up it takes all the glue up to the top half and leaves hardly any for the bottom half! Ive done this twice now and both times the fitting has leaked from the bottom!
Am i allowed to use a Fernco rubber coupling out of the ground?

Use a shielded coupling.
