have you tried the injector relay under the dash panel above the clutch pedal.
I had the same problem on my 1990 3.5 v8. anew relay cured it.

Hello Folks
here is an update about my non starting disco , like i said before i have replaced everything i can think of to get this thing to start , anyway i asked a friend over to check things out ,i thought a second pair of eyes would be good , so he done all the checks i did and found nothing out of the ordinary . Then he said have you check the dizzy and i said yes its been replaced , he then said what about inside the dizzy , the penny dropped there and then . We tok out the dizzy and there the problem lay , there are two springs inside the dizzy, one was missing completly and the other was snapped , just goes to show never to trust parts even though they are nearly new .
