I'm sorry to say Mike that your engine dying at that speed after the oil light has come on means much damage has no doubt been done! :'( :'( :'(

Get ready for either massive repairs, or probably most likely a new engine :( :(

Probably as much as the cars worth, unless you can find someone on here that is about to break a 2.2.

Where did you find those, I looked on the TC website, and couldn't find any reference to engines.

Right sweenytodd, where abouts are you?

To get a Trade Club card you need to join autobahnstormers (google for their web site), will cost you about £20 to join, including the card.
