Sorry to hear the bad news. Shop around, as a new engine will have turbo's, fuel pump etc etc and you don't need those at 160,000k. Talk to reputable engine reconditioners as that will be you best option.
Essential you discuss with LR Australia if you have full service history, and if no initial success, try a Lawyers letter!
Suggest they provide the engine FOC and you pay the remainder.
When you say full service history, how many klms between oil changes did you do?
There is some feeling that LR's schedule of 23,000 is partially the cause of seized bearings.
Many of us stick to 8-12,000 klms.
Hope you get a successful outcome from LR.
