i dont have a picture to hand but...

locate where the driver's side driveshaft enters the gearbox. above this there is the crank sensor, in this very area there is a small hole to put your drill bit into. i would advise using a bright torch as its hard to see it without one

no worries mate, i had to use some extra long spanners to undo those bolts on that engine mount plate.

They're 15mm nuts from what i remember, try getting an old 6-sided ring spanner and sawing the other end off it so you can slide a tube over the spanner for extra leverage

i put the car in 1st, then used a breaker bar, with a jack handle on the end of it, it cracked off with a huge bang. Took 2 of us to shift it

I just remove the engine mount and not the plate. This worked on my old 220SDI, ZR and ZS.

That is the flywheel bolt I presume

I think the poster means the 15mm nuts that hold the reinforcing plate for the engine mount on.
