Landrover sell a special tool which is about £145
So I have fabricated my own one. There are 4 threaded holes on the damper/crank pulley which are used to attach the damper puller when you remove the pulley from the shaft.
It is bsically a big spanner with 4 holes in and I screw the spanner to the pulley = locking it against the chassis rail.
No please do tell. With the 300tdi this really is the only way, as the torque setting on the bolt is
FT.
Nothing else will do
In gear
locking the flywheel
locking the fuel pump/cam belt
Only way is to use the bolted spanner on a 300!

Well lets hope so. The customer is from the South of France (10km from the spanish boarder) in the Pyrennes.
So its got a fair way to travel to get back home
