Did you wait for the glow plug light to go out?

Pour a couple of kettlefulls of hot water over the engine block and then try and start it. Raises the temperature just enough to get it started.
It was a ritual for me for a diesel Shogun when the glowplug relay failed and couldn't get hold of one for a while during a particularly cold period.

I’ve been here before a few times, as the previous said, pour hot water on the temp sensor (located by the fan slightly in the centre, grey electrical plug)
It’ll raise the temp of the engine and allow you to start.
If your struggling you can go to YouTube and type in “discovery 3 cold start problems”
Hope this helps
