I also think the same as Phil - get Liv recovered ASAP.
There are a few things that could have caused this failure, and one I didn't mention is the chain drive and tensioner for the oil pump.
It's a ball ache to repair, but not terminal.
If the tensioner or chain fail, it can create the appearance of a siezed engine, but as we all know - it's very, very rare to hear of a siezed A2 TDi engine.
Sending positive thoughts your way.
As you're around the Birmingham location, a reputable workshop is Stealth Racing, based in Southam.
There are some private mechanics in your area too who underatand the A2 very well, so once you've got the car home and have had a good think about the next steps, feel free to drop me a PM and I'll happily pass on details of those who might be able to help (P.S. - I'm not affiliated with any of them).
Cheers

Cheers Jeff.
I've been to Vince at Stealth a few times now. My last visit was last year, where I had the Stealth remap done. Visited A2 Cars but wouldn't do that again...
I'll be in touch regarding the garages. Having made a sizeable outlay in the past 18 months, I'm keen that she is seen by people who know what they're doing.
