Not the best sub-forum maybe?
Is this a Fender? if so, put the question in the Defender forum where people with 300tdi experience can see it.

It is a discovery
Disco or Defender makes no odds, timing is the same
How are you setting it? using what tools?
What made you touch it in the first place?

We using timing tools the reason was the timing belt snapped it’s a discovery
Right so there is a back story that is good.
So I am assuming you have timing pin top and bottom and cam/casing arrows lined up? if so I reckon you need to do a compression test, then pop the rocker cover off and check valve gear, could be as simple as a lash cap missing, or maybe damaged rocker, if all appears okay then its head off time.

@Plodwin589 i agree with @lynall
if you’ve done the timing with the correct tools I’d back yourself to have done it correctly. It’s not a hard job.
What were the circumstances around the belt snapping? If you’ve not looked at the push rods, rockers, valves etc and you’re just changing the belt I guarantee your issue is elsewhere

If you've done nothing apart from reset the timing & fit a new belt you might want to have a read of this:
