Do Discos have water seperators up by the tank? My 1990 Rangie TD did. If it's done it's job but not been flushed then that may have frozen.
The Same rangie also had a heater on the fuel filter in the engine bay.
Word of warning though if it is the seperator and the plastic screw snapps as mine did, I got a replacement seperator from a diesel specialist at the fraction of the cost of the Landrover replacement. Only difference this one has a plastic clear bowl so rather than fit it up underneath where a flying stone could doof it I mounted it alongside the filter. Advantage then.. it's simpler to drain without getting on your back (i.e. likely to be done!) and you can actually see the layer of water should one appear through the plastic bowl.
Same rangie suffered a corroded fuel pickup pick from the tank just where the unions to the fuel lines are. It was perforated for years which I know because if I parked a particualr way the fuel would syphon down the line to the tank thus requiring lots of cranking to start.. Park it with another way and it was fine. Eventually traced when the perforation became a hole and air was sucked in under acceleration resulting in it runnning like a tumble dryer with a brick in, ticked over fine though.
