5.0 Engine has blown.....
Discussion
Quick update , been working hard so not bothered me too much...
So from what he wife tells me (it's her car after all) Head gone, scoring and internal piston issue. So new engine en-route from USA via Germany should be in the UK any day.
Apparently they (Ford not the dealer) have acted shocked that this was a first (cough , cough) so if anyone has had similar problems let me know so I can call bu11s

2018 registed MY17 ShadowLine Manual with less than a 1000 miles, nothing done service wise and not really pushed prior to the problem.
Just one of those things I guess. Dealer has been good in dealing with the problem.

Update. Got the car back yesterday.
Diagnosis was scored cylinder 2 , looked in a bad way with grooves all over it .
Anyway new engine installed and no harm done.
Apart from a Ford Edge for a few days we had a MY18 fury orange fastback. Apart for the digital dash and adaptive exhaust I could tell no difference.
Wife now wants a louder exhaust......
