Default urgent help needed please

Ive an 2 litre diesel outback on an 58 plate 98k and its turbo,
now driving back on motorway it just stopped clutch has been slipping slightly but not enough to mention,
got it dragged back to home only for aa man to tell me engine siezed no movement at all.
Any ideas anyone subaru want 9k for new engine so im in need of some who can either fix it or supply another engine at reasonable cost so if anyone knows what may have caused it to sieze all levels are fine no oil water mix or anything so im stumped!

many thanks mel

First off, ALWAYS one post, in your chosen place. Otherwise, with double posting, the responses are split and diluted.

Ask a mod to delete the other one.

How long have you had the car? Has it been serviced regularly?
Who by?
Where was it bought? What mods if any?

And £9000 for a new engine is silly. A rebuild ought to be less than half that.

Ask a few specialists on here, API, Allan Jeffery, Harvey Smith, amongst others.

The only way forward for you is to ASK some of the respected guys on here. I cannot speak for them, just refer you to them as respected tuners who are honest and know their stuff.

If there is no warranty, that will be your only way forward, IMHO.
Sorry.
