My Bro was so close to buying the D3,he sorted prices on a Territory motor,the killer was buying it unseen and the freight to WA.
Hope the replacement suits you well.

It could really be anything and it might be fixable too. I fixed a back hoe for a friend a couple of years ago, the motor was totally siezed. It turned out (we are still not sure why) it had spun a couple of big ends fortunately not damaging the crank just coating it in white metal. I managed to clean it up and the conrod and fit new big ends, I also checked the oil galleries and installed an oil pressure gauge too. It has run great ever since, so maybe the new owners will be lucky.
I would never try to turn over a siezed motor though with a breaker bar, if it wont move, I open it and dont force anything.

I must be very lucky, just had my oil pump housing replaced with newer version during service at 320,000k.
Seems they missed replacing it at 180,000k, and it just happened that I was getting a lot of other work done and suggested go whole hog and do all belts and tensioners, and the housing was changed as part of that.
Now I have to hope the motor goes the expected another 100k.
