How often did you check and top up the oil? They're notorious for breaking without any.

I did the exact same thing, 10k without a top up and boom. I replaced the engine and it's now good as new, have you considered doing this yourself? I picked up an engine for £200 and replaced it myself, I am a total novice when it comes to such things. It turns out, it's pretty easy to do.
