Doesnt sound like its mechanical or anything, just a pesky wee prob.

Put a big spanner on the pully's of the timing (cam) belt and see if she'll turn over that way... sounds like an engine locked solid to me...

why would it be locked?
the light came on a few weeks back and i topped her up with oil
but................... this could still happen?

Get the cam belt cover off and see if it's still on there. then see if you can crank it over by hand. althought it the starter motor can't. But check timing belt first.
