Default bought rs2000 4x4 yesterday...today the engine blows up!!!

bought a rs2000 4x4 yesterday drove nearly 300 miles back from manchester....absolutely faultless i was chuffed to bits, been out to footy this morning left my sisters house, pulled out of a junction only in first wasnt flooring it...and then bang followed by quite a heavy rattle aswell as the oil light come on straight away!!

first thing i thought was timing chain so quickly ripped the camshaft cover off and spun the key a cpl of turns the chain was turning fine but could hear the rattle still there coming from the bottom end...im thinking maybe shot a conrod??? but not too sure as nothing has come through the block and no leak anywhere??

ANY IDEAS OR HELP ANYONE

cheers
