They apparently snap cranks for fun. Fixing it will probably cost more than the car is worth.

My mate had his fixed 8 months later it went again.
Buy another 1.

If the crank has really sheared, then the block is also scrap.
Time for a replacement engine - don't go the 'recon' route, it's likely already had a failed crank, buy a used one, replace the oil pump, belts and swap the injectors & turbo over.

Sadly at that age is is going to be scrap, as repair costs will massively outweigh the cars value.

Break it for parts, lots of good saleable stuff on it, then weight the shell in.

Thanks you guys is there any garages that would swop an engine near Leicester that anyone knows of

If you can source an engine, we can do it - you'd need to get the vehicle and engine to Derby though.

To fit a customer-supplied engine with oil pump & both belts replaced, injectors & turbo swapped? no idea - I'll get the boss to price it up tomorrow!
