I had a similar problem with my 3 year old TDi Disco many years ago. It had about 70,000km when I bought it and 2 weeks later it just stopped. Turned out to be the timing belt had broken which fortunately was repaired under warranty. This was a known fault with the 300 TDi.
I loved driving it and almost everything about it except for reliability. It constantly had one problem or another from the security system to oilseals to water pump to the ABS.
I now drive a DiD Pajero which hopefully will be a more reliable package.

300 TDI doesn't have a flaw with the timing belt, but it MUST be changed at it's service interval WITHOUT FAIL!!

I was looking at one which didn't say when the belt had been done. great vehicle, good prive, but without that key piece of information, It was a case of walking away.
