I think there's a different between an alignment timing tool (which vary if manual or auto)
And a other jobbie which allows u to undo the crank bolt with massive force required

There is, and I toyed with buying the very expensive toothed locking device, but glad I didn't, because the drive plate (or flywheel) alignment tool is strong enough to hold it whilst undoing / tightening the crankshaft pulley bolt.....This is the kit I used. D3 owned from new, P017 brake recall, BAS FBHIC, new FBH, LR013487 oil pump, new water pump. RRS front lower suspension arms. New suspension compressor/ relay. New Denso alternator. CuNifer rear brake pipes. New GKN rear propshaft. New HPFP belt & tensioner. New A/C Condenser.NO WARRANTY for many many years.

Pete, I used the tool in the kit when I did mine, worked fine New gearbox & TC, 3 x front wheel bearings, belts changed, new oil pump, new battery, new rear prop, new front prop, new front diff, front arb refurbed, front cv boot kit, egr blank and BAS software patch, full rear suspension / drivelive rebuild, new front arms, LED trailer light fix, split charge.
Never had a 107, 90 or 127, but have had most of the rest!

So are their dowels around the bolts holding the pump in?
How many?

As I recall, there aren't any dowels. Otherwise you would snap / bend them when you tightened the 4 bolts that go vertically up into the base of the pump from the sump....
I stand ready to be corrected... New gearbox & TC, 3 x front wheel bearings, belts changed, new oil pump, new battery, new rear prop, new front prop, new front diff, front arb refurbed, front cv boot kit, egr blank and BAS software patch, full rear suspension / drivelive rebuild, new front arms, LED trailer light fix, split charge.

Think there are dowels
Can be seen in the bottom of this one. (reverse side)
’ve heard of some garages knocking the oil seals in 1mm in and not 1mm proud , I wondered why some have had issues after with leaking oil seals
The correct LR tool for the oil seal does insert the oil seal 1mm inside the oil pump face, not 1mm proud. The old style oil pumps also did not have three ali tabs behind the seal to stop it going to far in.

Hi flack
Doesn’t sound to good then if it’s suppose to be proud
Also imagine you’ve lost count of how many you’ve done
Am Still seriously impressed when u done the rear belt on my D3 in under an hour seeing many garages said the body had to come off

So with the new oil pumps, is it no longer possible to fit the crankshaft oil seal in too far? With the three tabs that sit behind that you've mentioned, do they ensure that the seal ends up in the correct place and no further? When fitting then do you just fit the seal in until it's pushing up against those three tabs?Mine - MY09 L319 D3 HSE Lion 2.7 TDV6 and modified MY03 LT L318 Discovery 2a HSE Td5 15P
Hers - MY12 L319 D4 Lion 2.7L TDV6
Dads - MY12 L319 D4 Lion 2.7L TDV6
The LR seal tool inserts the seal by 1mm, see below, I have this tool and its a must to make sure the seal is fitted correctly, many have used a socket and been lucky, but the tool ensures it in the correct amount and does not ram the seal against the ali tab stops.
