I’ve contacted Citizens Advice and there automatically pass it onto trading standards, so will see how far that goes.
No it did not state how starvation occurred except it was there opinion and experience Of how it was caused.
Their warranty company were worse than the garage, no listening to my side at all, but they would do anything to not payout.
Great advice guys, thanks it will all help me to build my case.

the key thing is the sump being off before ...
Here is a scenario , Someone ran the sump low for whatever reason the bearings started knocking ..... then someone took the sump off and changed the bearing shells and put them back with a damaged crankshaft , then " got rid of the car" in an auction ... over your 6 months the scored crankshaft has eaten away at the beating shells and it has seized again ....
It would be interesting to see whether the bearing shells have been changed ... ...and how did the seller get hold of the car ..... an auction ?
