Not EXACTLY TVR but.....

The Range Rover I have borrowed since my Cerb died has apparently snapped/thrown a CONROD.
I am not technical could anyone tell me what this means? I know what the con roads are and do but what are the implications of this? Best and worst case scenarios please?

Worst case scenario.
Conrod snaps, still turns in the block punches hole in side of the block.

Best case scenario.
Snaps, scratches/scores inside of the cylinder.

Ok, thanks for that, no hole even though it let go at something like 90mph...just a nasty knocking sound.
Not neccasarily new engine time then?
Engines done 110,000 do they just go or is there a cause?
