ian_s:
to me it sounds like theres no diesel getting into the cylinders.
things to check:

does she smoke at all as your turn her over?
is the stop stuck in the stop position?
crack one of the injector pipes open and see if fuel comes out as you turn it over.

hth

johnty:
1st thing I would check is does it have Series wired Glow plugs? if it has 1 bad glow plug none of them will work. Without properly functioning glow plugs it is unlikely to start, so check those first particularly if you have had it running previously.

landroverkeith:
thanks i will nip into the garage later to look at the plugs as like u said it was running fine...

and answers to other question is no no smoke when trying to turn over
and by stop do u mean then engine kill ?  if so thats fully pushed home .
ill try the injectors as a last means


 im going into town now anyways to get a new thermostat for the disco so ill get some extra bits and bobs while im there

thanks guys

now wheres me spanners
