When you say "stopped suddenly" do you mean as in seized or cut out?Diesel m8 its just had new head + Payne head gasket + Oil Filter and oil twice as just after engine rebuild turbo blew so it had new turbo and entire engine flushed b4 fitting she has also just had 2 new tyres on front which weren't cheap as its got 20s on just bin MOT'd and taxed 4 6 months so she has had loads spent ......
Who did the work on the engine? If it's seized, sounds like the crank pully bolt may not have been correctly torqued up causing the oil pump to fail.
If the engine work was done by a professional, I'd chuck it back at them, their liablility, they should pay to fix.
Car looks smart, would be a great shame to scrap it.

Sounds like lack of oil pressure, did you centralise the oil pump and, as posted, correctly tighten the crankshaft bolt? If this has come loose you will loose oil pump drive
