TD5 Disco 2 won't fire

Hi Rob

It stops straight away, the second the juice is gone

Battery was on charge overnight, is sitting at 13.6v taken off charger and cranked for 30 seconds, left for an hour, cranked for 30 seconds

Can hear diesel or oil gurgling around the head after a serious cranking but that's to be expected, battery is back on the charger

Update:

Not sure why, not sure how, wandered to said vehicle after bubs was asleep and decided to reset the timing based on the newly discovered cam shaft marks.

IT...RAN...IT IS ALIVE!

It ran smoother than ever before.

I don't know why a pifteenth could make so much difference between running and not running but it is alive!

Thank you so much for everyone's help, apologies for the panic, in this process of this found C0573-4 had also been damaged under the engine compartment fuse panel and fixed but it still wouldn't start after that.

Has anyone been successful in tightening the crank shaft bolt up with the crank locked with the locking pin alone or does this really require a tool made up to grip the pulley?

I know people on here have done it with the locking pin but I prefer to make the tool. Make sure it's strong, my first one failed and slipped under load, snapping the pulled tab off the balancer. Same tool but double the thickness and hasn't budged
