Engine overheated and died. Possible to un-seize?

It would have no reason to let go.

He's taking the piss, your engine is still terminally fked as everybody agreed a month ago.

Most of the thread consists of "taking the piss."

There is simply no facepalm big enough to come even close to covering that one.

I don't see how i'm supposedly taking the piss.

I can't undo the sump plug so I can drain the oil and see if I can spot any metal bits, and there is also no improvement when I turn the engine, which leads me to believe one or more piston rings are broke.
I think this car has decided it no longer wants to live.

Big Bertha will make its last journey to the scrap yard in the sky some time before its next MOT due date.

Big Bertha will be sadly missed.

There will be metallic elements in the oil take it from me!

As said, sadly the options here are:
-back street garage engine swap
-sell it spares or repair on ebay, buyer collects
-weight it in for scrap metal
