Seized huh? Thats a bummer...
Yeah I didn't think it would be easy. Thanks for the tip, I'll head over for a skeet. Cheers
Not had an y experience with the sport, but I am sure that you*could* take the engine out the top - hard work mind as it'll have to stripped quite far to fit I think!

I alway hate to point newbies to other forums - but in the interest or helpfulness and all that jazz, have you browsed www.rrsport.co.uk ??

Indeed and sounds like a snapped crank, u can take the engine out the front on a D3 without taking the body off, all the bonnet slam etc comes off, engine weighs 230kg

But also don’t know ref the RRS , not much help, lol

On a D3 the bonnet slam etc comes off and can get the engine out from above, however I don’t know about the RRS

Know that’s not much help , the year u have the RRS and D3 have the same engine

Many buy a complete S type, know the engine is running m then also sell all the parts from the jag to recoup some of the body then send the body for scrap weight

Here’s abit of reading for u

Plus if it helps these vehicles use the same engine , have to swap everything over

Jaguar S Type
Jaguar XJ
Jaguar XF
Discovery III
Range Rover Sport
Peugeot 607
