Might sound like a daft question, but, have you checked the stop wire under the pump? Iv'e known mechanics miss that one.

..and when was the filter last changed? any leeks (fuel)?
nip the nut loose on each injector pipe while its been turned over, this will show you if fuel getting through, could also be dead injectors - 300`s dont like red diesel (apparently) and injector failure can occur... did it feel a bit sluggish in a morning before it warmed up? - if so, check injectors!
