Hi all, Our Freelander 1 2.0ltr diesel started making aslight popping/induction noise, very shortly afterwards it seized completely, not sure yet whether its on the crank or in a cylinder, anyone have any experience of these engines seizing and if so is their a commoncause?

Well done for removing the other threads - best keep to 1 and here is the place to put it.
What year is the Freelander? ie is it the Rover L Series engine or the BMW M47 TD4?

Td4, most common I would say is broken crank, I have had this. Or fuel lock due to failed injector.
Out wrench on crank pulley and wobble it, you'll feel slack if crank broken.
For fluid lock take out injectors and turn over by hand.
