only 2 pistons are at the top at any one time, knowing which 2 are at the top tells you, if no water came out 1 off them the problem is the other 1.
Glow plug removal may be quicker and easier than injector removal, but you still do not know if the engine is locked, so first step is to see if it will turn with the spanner on the crank nut before taking time on anything else.
 
as previously stated, its a 20 mile round trip up there so i want to do as much as poss in one visit. first job will be to remove top hoses using clip removal tool, then undo fan using 32mm spanner, then remove cowling and fan, then put a 27mm socket onto breaker bar and put onto crankshaft and try to turn clockwise. if it does not turn then remove air intake pipe going across top of engine. using allen keys of unknown size, remove black plastic cover. using 17mm open ended spanner remove fuel pipes.using 27mm window socket on breaker bar, undo and remove injectors one at a time to see if any water or fuel comes out. when water or fuel comes out of one, then try again to turn engine over.

Good luck with it, hopefully it turns over.

Allen keys are 5mm if I remember correctly.
