At this stage, there were no other options out of LHR.
I rang QF and asked about seats to LGA and I could make my own way to JFK by cab.
There was 3 hours and 30 minutes available to do this .
Sadly the MCT LGA-JFK was 4 hours so the connection would not ticket.
Has any poster been able to receive an exception to this restriction or found a way round it?

No, there is no way around MCTs on the same PNR, no way to receive an exception.

If you want to risk it, the only thing you could do is see if QF can change your ticket to just JFK-LHR, then buy a separate IND-LGA ticket on another reservation. That of course would come with risks.
