No space to plug weld a nut onto it and take it out that way? Or too much risk of heat damage / welding the nut to the block too?

I did similar on a mk1 escort waterpump bolt in my yoof.
Tried a easi out and that broke off in the drilled out bolt, tried drilling that out and fecked the block, had to buy another injun
No space (about 4" and down the gap), hard to see what you're doing and it actually goes into the ally front cover rather than the cast iron of the block itself. I don't have a welder either although I can borrow one.

Nothing like a positive encouragement. I think I will get away with a new front cover if it all goes bad but I was thinking of an Eaziout so kitten fingers on that. If it breaks off in there I am stiffed.
Drill out and an easyout maybe?

Forgot to put link to the turbo guy. Really good to deal with, price was better than the ones I was looking at from eastern Europe, and he's a lot closer. Also very understanding that everything in thr back,of beyond works in slow time

Problem was access and the gearbox oil pipes welding themselves to the rad.
As it happens a neighbour not only had a right angled drill bit I got home to find he'd not only drilled it out but had tapped sone sort of helicoil i to it.
Anyway, pipe in place, cam-cover off (and wire mesh in top cleaned out), headbolts tightened another 90 degress and car reassembled. Leak-off pipe replaced. Heat-shield over exhaust was already in 2 pieces but pretty much fell apart with asbestos dust everywhere on reassembly. I am going to have to replave it, I think. Car started first time and seems to run OK except diesel was deipping in the floor. Seems to be leaking from injector #2. Not sure if it is yhe injector copper washer I played with or the high pressure pipe needs nipping up. Either way, it'll have to wait until Saturday now.
Incidentally, the reason you cannot get the copper washers for the injectors is because they're integral to the injector and don't come off, according to Land Rover. A bit at odds with what it says in RAVE. I may have chewed one up a bit ttying to get it off though.
I've got a good neighbour like that
Passed MOT this morning with no advisories again. Gave her a nice big hug. Our lass thinks I'm crackers
