Duratec engine seized!!!

[echoone]

Sumped my R400 on a cats eye last week. Stopped straight away and got recovered home. Just replaced sump and refilled with oil but won't turn over. tried jump starting but rear rear wheels just lock up. So engine seized. Anybody got any ideas as what work might need doing to engine and costs??? Totally gutted, just as the weather was starting to improve!!!

I stopped almost immediately, but watched as the oil pressure dropped. It dropped about a liter on the recovery truck on the way home. But didn't try to start it until I replaced the sump and refilled with oil etc, so the only thing that could have caused the engine to seize it the loss of oil. Nothing else has happened other than this and prior the car was running sweet and only has 5500 miles on the clock.

I'm insured through Caterham Insurance, so I'm hoping they will cover the claim as impact damage. It's just a pain. At least it should go to an authorized Caterham Mechanic to get fixed.

Spoke to insurance this morning. Initially where a bit funny but then seemed okay about accepting it as an accident claim. Just waiting for a call back to see which garage they want to send it to. Hopefully it'll go to Caterham midlands.
