I'm guessing seized piston cos surely the pressure below would just be blown through the engine breather
Engine seized 300tdi

Unless breather blocked......but then the pressure would just pop a hose off or blow oil from the seals somewhere....hmmmmm
I am leaning towards seized crank or piston .....
Maybe you could whip the sump off and take a look from underneath

When the engine was put in I fitted new oil and filter and have driven it about 140 miles to and from work this week

My oily plugs were from worn/tired valve stem seals.

It looks a bit more oily than I thought would be good for a running engine

I'd go with the suggestion of removing the aux belt and then try turning it over by hand and see what happens.

See if you can get it fixed and take it from there. Turning with the belt removed will help to isolate the fault. This could be the last fix which puts it on the road for a long time. Failing that px it for a Freelander but expect to hand over an additional £7k in cash if you do.
