They will pass your letter to their insurers, and the likelihood is that you will hear from solicitors appointed by the insurers.

I assume that it was you who purchased these goods. As purcaser you have rights - and the seller has obligations - under the Consumer Rights Act. In particular, goods should be of satisfactory quality. Given that more than 30 days have elapsed since purchase, if these goods are not of satisfactory quality you do not have the right to reject them, but have the right to repair or replacement. You should raise this with the seller.

is it relevant?

If you release capital early, then - to state the obvious - it will not be available to you later. I am sure that you realise this: just make sure that you think these things through carefully.

I think you need to emulate the current PM in this one respect: draw a line under it and move on.

I mean that if you do what dx suggests and try to put in expert evidence via your witness statement, a vigilant judge will take a thick red pen to those parts of your statement and not take any account of the evidence. Exper evidence can only be introduced with permission of the court, and must comply with CPR Part 35. Attempts to introduce such evidence by any other means should be rejected.

Look, whoever is running this site, it's happening again. Not only can I still not send or receive any DMs, having previously been able to do so, but once again I am not allowed to see anything in the delivery services section. @Andyorch sort of helped a while ago. None of the rest of you in the site team so much as asked if you could help. And messages using the contact button are ignored. This is now my third thread about this, FCOL. What is going on? And in answer to the question below, you have not helped.

statute barred means that the period set by the Limitation Act 1980 after which a claim may not be brought has expired.

The facts described may give grounds to take action seeking court orders to make the directors personally liable. It is possible that they might argue that a declaration was made on the application to strike off the company that should not have been made (that the company had no unpaid debts). But would you spend the money on a fairly complicated claim for this amount? I would not advise a client to do this.
