    I just checked for you since I have it all handy. I've got a 1&5/16" 3/4"-drive socket. I use a good quality T-handle and a looong bit of heavy-wall pipe. This socket doesn't quite cover the flats of the nut as much as I'd like, but it's been fine so far.
    At any given point in time, somewhere in the world someone is working on a Land-Rover.

    It's 1 and 5/16th (just went out and checked mine in the shed). I had to buy a deep impact socket with a 3/4" to 1/2" adapter to get mine off, put on the end of a Milwaukee rattle gun. The socket and adapter cost me about $65 for something I'll probably only use twice.

    Set at 1&5/16", I got 33.3mm on the vernier, so a 34mm socket might work. You're better off with a snug fit, though, especially if the nut has been torqued right up.

    Jezza, if you can't justify the cost for a tool you will (hopefully) only use twice you are more than welcome to borrow mine. I too would recommend using the correct imperial socket instead of a 'close enough' metric. Mine was on exceptionally tight and it took a decent amount of time to crack it with a rattle gun.

    We might be talking about a different bolt then.
    Just the bolt on the crank pulley wheel at the front of the engine, in front of the timing cover

    Not sure if miscommunication or if I need to study up on imperial measurements, but the correct socket was 15/16.

    The difference is between the crank dog version and the standard version you have. From the OP:

    I have an early 3.5l with crankshaft pulley nut that accommodates a crank handle (book calls it a 'starter dog'). It is bigger than the standard one.
    It pays to read the whole thread before replying...
