Sorry to drag this one up again folks but I have tried the bar against the chassis rail and flicking the starter (not moving) tried a manual impact wrench (one of these, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Power-Bar-Han ... 3ef70b9bc0 as I had it and was worth a try)
Nothign will shift it, anybody got a locking bar/tool who are near bradistan?

You have to be brave on some and let the bar swing a few degrees to gain momentum, Don't just tickle the starter key, turn it with commitment. From the factory they have a splash of threadlock on the bolt but some people get carried away and paint it on. You need to be agressive enough to break the threadlock and either the bolt will turn and the bar will hang down as the bolt unscrews or the motor will not turn over.
