I have a 2009 XKR that has done nearly 24,000 miles and looks the business, but unfortunately has died. I have been told by my local Jaguar dealership that the engine is seized and that the only answer is to have a new engine. Though they haven't officially quoted me, they said that the cost will be nearer to £15k than £10k.
I am in shock, and disbelief. Jaguar UK do not seem particularly interested.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Can anyone suggest an independent specialist who might be able to help? Anyone any other suggestions?
Advise please for my dead XKR

Thanks for your help and advise everyone.
The fault was that the con-rod on cylinder 8 is sticking out into the engine casing. One really dead engine. The car is now in Doncaster with Chris Isle who seems a really knowledgable and nice guy. Beyond resuscitation, we are looking at a transplant.
Jaguar simply don't want to know.
