I know this sounds stupid, but has it been overfilled with oil? :-[

Possibly showing my ignorance of diesels here ... if the 2.2dti is common rail ignore this suggestion.

Has one of your injector pipes fractured?

Point taken but the 2.5's were too old to plate  (taxi)  :y
Oil level was ok before at start of shift, oil all seems to be from the rear ,cant see much  other than oil sprayed everywhere, we'll see what the spanner men say tommorow, who knows it might not be too serious :-/

Well enough is  enough :'(
Apparently the vacuum pump siezed and broke off,the sudden jolt broke three rockers and put a couple of valves through the pistons.So looks like 440k is the end of the line so much for 1/2 million.
Not worth another engine as no doubt something else would follow (gearbox,turbo etc) so to the scrap yard it will be :'(
