Hi all

Unfortunately my engine is seized when you manually turn the flywheel at some point it get stucked
And you can hear that some part is broken, maybe a nut or a bolt
Any how it won't turn

So where should I start this
Can anyone help please

Thank you

Need a bit more info here. What's the reason for you turning it over by hand? Had something else failed or were you replacing a timing belt? (Does the I6 have a timing belt or chain?) Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

2014 Orkney grey Freelander SD4 GS.
2004 Zambezi silver Discovery 2 Td5 (Gone)
1963 Surf blue Morris Mini Minor Super de Luxe (my little toy)

Car was not starting so we thought it's the starter motor and we romped the starter and turn the flywheel to see whether it's seized or not but then it was turning and at some point it got stucked plus you can hear that something is inside the engine something rattling

Not many I6 engines in the UK. Nearly diesels here.

But its used in Volvos so you may get help on Volvo forums too.

What happened when it failed ?


Either way it sounds serious and requires some stripping down. Maybe get sump off first to see if there are any broken bits in the bottom. Jules
