Get the engine management (EMU) unit checked out

 

Going to plug it into obd tonight doubt that would stop it turning over would it ? Can hear the starter engaging but not turning over

 

Might it have been hydro locked with fuel?
You could take the injectors out and see if it will turn over by hand.

 

Might it have been hydro locked with fuel?

Could be but looking at his story where the engine during a drive cuts out and siezes . if the siezes because of a hydro lock is the case chances are he has bent rods.

I would, like MrKiss already said take the injectors out and turn the engine by hand and look if there is diesel coming out of the cylinders.

If there is fuel coming out of one of the cylinders the next step would be to find out if the rods are bent and why or where the fuel is coming from.

 

2005 2.7 will have a DPF, it's a reasonable bet that the engine is full of fuel. Drain the sump and refill with fresh oil.

 

If the exhaust tips point down it doesn't have a DPF, if they point straight back, it does.

 

Just visiting !
Pull the dipstick, if flooded with diesel/oil it will be obvious. If the oil is clear and new (or heavily diluted with diesel) a bit of white chalk on the stick will make the level obvious.
Alternatively (Ignoring the diesel leak) you may also have an electrical problem, a shorted battery will stop the car and cause it not to turn over. Simplest way to test (other than a bar on the crank and turn over by hand if you have access) is to stick a volt meter on the battery and try and start it. First you should have 12.5v min - less than 11v and it's not going to start anyway. You should get a large voltage drop during an attempted crank, down to (at a guess) 7-8v or so. If there is little to no change then your starter is not attempting to start.
Coming back to the EGR does the car have an intake throttle blade - if it does and you blanked the EGR inlet you might want to check it is still there.
