Sorry for the late response life has got in the way.
I am using a Snap On Solus Pro .
Thanks for the diagrams I will get on it as soon as I can and report back.

Thanks again for your help

All

Got into the electrical fault finding and trying to suss out the bypass, but all now in vain as the engine went pop whilst driving on the motorway.

On the lookout for a decent 2.7 and any articles on removing and refitting without taking the body off.

Thanks for all the help

Another snapped crank?

Started to strip but not got the heart to look under the sump plate yet. Will look when I have sorted out my alternative transport for work. But the amount of oil coming out the engine (all of it) seems to point to a detonation of some kind

Oh dear, one reason I wouldn't own any Landy with the 2.7d or 3.0d

If it is a crank issue they can crack the engine block due to the way the crank bearing blocks are bolted into the engine

Oh dear, sorry to hear.
If you want to try and DIY then search for @tyregeezer threads he seems to be a glutton for this sort of D3 punishment, but has done well and threads/posts are detailed so could help

.

Good luck with it.

Thanks all. I will look at the damage and then start the search for a reasonably priced engine.

If you can before you buy it, hear it running from cold

As the guys said cheaper option is to but a s type or xf and transplant, strip to block, heads, rocker covers, you can hear it running first
Yes not to bad at all to remove complete with gearbox I basically only remove transfer box and alternator from engine, check out my thread have done it a few times doing engine switch at moment, definitely a glutton for punishment
Good on you for doing it yourself best of luck
