hi folks. ive had this problem a long time and still havent found a solution!
Its a turbo diesel with 11mm pump.
the problem is that it wont start sometimes. it turns over but wont fire... however the slightest of jumps will start it! like i can literally push the car myself and it will start in gear.
all suggestions are welcome, even the simplest!
Thanks!!!

Well if it starts straight away with a jump that tells me somewhere you dont have enough juice.
Doesnt even own a 306.

Fuel solenoid might not be getting enough juice perhaps and is closing while cranking?
