Just double check that, IIRC the drain plug is in the very bottom of the bellhousing and looking up inot it you see the outer edge of the flywheel  It's incredibly important you have the negine sppot on at TDC because the valves pretty much touch the piston in a deisel engine, if the timing is off it could get nasty.

NiteMare:
ok a little update, i've crawled in at 11.15pm totally cream crackered (last night was midnight) i'm very nearly finished just the bonnet to refit along with the airbox after i repair it and a couple of wires to reconnect (when i can get at my new connectors) i've had the engine running but of course everything sounds different and i was under a big canvas, so i've only run it for a minute or so but it's sounding ok, so first thing tomorrow is finish off the last bits and out for a quick road test to see if it still pulls as before...

i'll add pictures and any new info tomorrow as i'm too crackered to bother at the moment

I don't know if you can do this on a disco 200, but on my defender 200, I've modded the cover so I don't have to remove the water pump to do the belt, my timing case keeps filling up with mud from wading so I remove the cover every so often the clean it out

Imagine the picture is the cover, where the red line is I've jigsawed the lump off which fits behind the water pump so it can stay attached, the blue dots are new holes for m6 bolts and the dotted line is where I seal the gap with silicone.
