I've just recently done the timing belt on my 2007 Discovery 3 TDV6, including replacing the oil pump with the updated and less crack-and-destroy-your-engine design.
It wasn't that bad a job, but I wound up basically doing it twice though because I was too tight to buy the special crank seal installation tools. I stuffed it up the first time and had a slow leak as a result. Take two was far more successful.
Anyway, there are now a set of locking tools AND front crank seal installing tools available for loan in Adelaide. Save yourself the $500-odd I wound up paying for them all. Price is a carton of Super Dry – you collect and return. If you don't return them, I'll hunt you down and pour 20 litres of unleaded into your fuel tank
Flick me a message if you're interested.
Cheers,

do the Chinese copy come with the crank seal fitting tool for that price ? mine didn't and luckily I ordered 2 seals as I got a bit keen with the first 1 and it leaked 2 mins after start up. Was so much fun pulling it all back apart and removing the starter a second time.

Ha! Evidently, I do not
Ah well. I certainly hunted high and low for the crank seal installer tools and couldn’t find an alternative source. I used the plastic locking nut thing from the oil pump to install the seal the first time around, but, obviously, that didn’t work too well!

Its more getting the seal onto the crank end . We used to use thin shim material or a coke can years ago but my first attempt at this resulted in the inner lip being stretched to much and hence it leaked once the engine started. I Just use the old seal to push the new one into place
