One thing, what about taking the car back and getting a refund, the car does not sound 'fit for purpose' to use the trading standards lingo.

As above i would be talking to the seller and if you draw a blank then consider the options on a rebuild.

If its a trader give it a go if its a private seller you dont really have a leg to stand on.. I'm sure loads of people well stand up and say otherwise but I've never heard of a case like that being successful

If you've done your big ends dont **** about by re using or re grinding your crank. Get a new one.
Mark from Lateral Performance will do you a fantastic deal on both bearings and a crank.
If you do the work yourself you'll be looking at around £1000 to sort it.
Bearings will cost you around £180 for ACL lead copper ( what most of the big power lot use)
Crank around £400
Full engine gasket set £300
Sundries £100
My advice is if you're mechanically compitent then go for it.
I started without a clue. I bought a cd manual on ebay for a fiver and £300 worth of tools from Halfords. As well as looking after and modifying my own car I have now done several rebuilds for other people.
I would also suggest getting the RCM Modified oil pump for around £170 too.
This has an uprated pressure relief valve the lack of which in your standard pump probably stuck and caused your big end failure.
Like i said if your compitent with the spanners go for it, you'll save yourself a fortune.
I've documented my whole rebuild in the projects section:

Worth a read if your going to takle it yourself.
