Less work to just take the injectors out. Be careful with no4 or don’t try without window socket. Other 5 should come out okay. Glows can snap off if they have welded in. Easier with manifold off not sure how you’d manage with one arm is fiddly enough with two
 
i struggle with most things but i usually find a way of doing things. lol i can tie my own shoelaces, try that for yourself.lol

That's a tough deal but I suppose it must be easier if you have never known any different. I came close to losing my right arm below the elbow after an accident, it still gives me the horrors if I think about it.
I'm still hoping the engine turns over with the spanner:)
 
just came back from brothers.firstly no matter how hard i hit the 32mm open ended spanner clockwise, the thermo fan would not come undone. so i removed the air intake and the plastic cover too reveal the injectors. the fuel feed pipes were easy to undo with the 17mm open ended spanner. the spill pipes were a differant story, they would not pull off.one eventually did come off the other side one broke off, only to find out that the lambda sensor double window socket i took up there did not fit. so i could not remove the injector. so no further now than before.
 
Injector Window socket is 27mm.
I coated my viscous thoroughly with coppaslip couple years ago and i only just managed to get it off other day. Take the front plastic cover off and undid the bracket with the wiring loom in, this moved back gives enough access for a slim 32mm viscous spanner + grips on pump pulley to stop it rotating. Need to put force both ways baring in mind the fan is a left hand thread (from front fan turns clockwise to come off - hold the pulley anti-clockwise)
Coppaslip everything before you refit

The window socket is definitely 27mm window double deep, I've just checked with my spare injector and socket. Injector spill pipe is 3.2internal diameter,I ordered some from Gates it seems to be lasting longer than the crap they sell in motor factors.
 
latest update. today a mobile mechanic came out with a thin fancy spanner, put it down between engine and radiator, engine turned over manually, so obviously not seized or water/ diesel in combustion chamber.now it has "engine imobilised" on dash, key access code will not operate, so now he cant try to start it with starter. keys will not open doors using buttons only manually.before you ask . i was not there.to tell him to put the key into door lock or ignition and press the fobs. it is being taken away tommorrow to have the starter motor taken out and tested and the red power cable tested.

Good news about the engine. I expect the battery is low now which will not help with getting the FOB's to sync.
