Just had spanner on crankshaft bolt and I couldnt turn engine. Is this bad news?
Will put on a tommy bar and socket in the morning.Depends how long spanner was. If a socket and wrenching bar won't turn it you may have big problems.
Update
I now know what was wrongf. Gearbox now out.
The flywheel has a ring attached for the starter motor.
Attached to, and inside that, is a ring with lots of wee lug things. No idea what its for.
Anyway these rings are bolted to flywheel with four set pins. One had come loose and had fallen out damaging the lugs and then, presumably as I drove her up the ramp for recovery wagon, the set pin jammed between the flywheel and the bell housing.
those wee lugs (reluctor ring)is what the crank sensor usesUpdate
