Hi,
I have noticed over the last week or so that my 306 DTurbo is becoming increasingly difficult to start.
This happens whether the engine is hot or cold.
It used to start pretty much at the flick of the key but now it will just wind over and I have to try two or three times before it fires up.
The car is serviced every 6000 miles as stated in the service book and the glow plugs were replaced last year.
Any ideas?

have a good look round for leaks, if you cant find any put a volt meter on the top of each glow plug to check your getting 12v and time how long you get it for (will need someone to help you) should be more then 30 seconds, if it doesnt you will not be heating your engine up. how long does the light stay on for on your dash? if all that is ok try priming the fuel with the hand pump if you still have no luck migth be worth getting your engine pressure tested as diesel need high pressure to start

Yes thy run on for 5 mins as long as you don't touch the throttle, if you do they cut out instantly.
this is meant for very cold starts in the winter months.
