You havent mentioned if you have a snorkel or not.

If not ypur air intake is about the same height as your grill meaning youve sucked water in to engine and its ontop of pistons and wont combust that.so will hydraulic the engine.

Might just be water in air filter? Especially if you have an arch liner missing

Water in the air filter would filter it thru the holes in bottom of air box on a 300. So id look further than the air box.

Take glow plugs out n turn over till water is all out.

Sorry about lack of info guys it was water in the fuel tank all drained flushed and new fuel filter in seems to be running good again thank you for all the help also found that the exhaust manifold is missing a stud is this common on these prone to snap?

Just for future reference, if you do get water in the engine and try and turn it over you'll knacker it to a good extent. Remove the injectors/plugs and turn it over to get all the water out. You got lucky

Edit - just saw someone posted same above
