If its a 2.2 then the inertia switch..
I'm told the 2.4 doesn't have an inertia switch , which would be the easiest option.. After that most probably the camshaft sensor would be the easiest to get to..but it is still tucked away.. You will likely have codes to clear whichever method you use |

Why not just force oil through the turbo bearings using a syringe? spin the turbo by hand while doing it. That will be enough lubrication for a cold start.
More importantly, Change the oil and filter, and flush the oil feed line to the turbo. Better yet, just fit a new feed line. |

On a 2.4 if you disconnect the crank sensor it will turn over but not fire. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

I'd opt for the crank sensor as the simplest method.
It's a little ironic that after so many "my Puma cranks but won't start" threads of the years we now have a "how can I crank my Puma without starting" thread. Damn things never do what you want!  |

Lol..
I remember asking the same question myself a while back.. In my case it was so that I could do actual cyl compression checks..👍 |

Many thanks for all your replies. I can get to the crankshaft sensor quite easily as I had to release the cat to get access to the underside bolts on the turbo.
Just a note re my experience taking off the turbo. One of the bolts on the underside holding the oil return tube is almost impossible to get access to. The manual states that this should be done prior to releasing the three bolts holding the turbo to the manifold. After struggling for quite some time, I decided to remove the three bolts holding the turbo to the manifold. The turbo then fell sideways away from the engine as the return oil feed pipe has a flexible section which allowed this to happen, giving easy access to the troublesome bolts (I'd also released the bolt at the bottom of the oil feed) |

To remove the inner turbo oil return bolt, I go underneath and use a couple of very long extensions, the last having a "wobble" head", on a 3/8" ratchet.
