Peugeot 407 coupe hdi engine seized

[peugeot407coupe]

Hello all

I have a Peugeot 407 coupe with a 2.7L HDI engine that I can’t turn over by hand with a socket and bar.

Just wondering if it is common for these engines to seize up ( i purchased the car not going so I don’t know it’s history it’s done 97000km )

I was wondering if anyone here has had a similar problem with theirs, so now wondering if just getting a secondhand engine or stripping down and rebuilding the current engine is the way to go if it is really seized up.

I have seen an a few with the injection pump jammed and the belt lock the motor diagnostics elsewhere as a seizure of the engine just pop the drive belt off the gearbox side of the engine
