Gearbox earth connection part
I have just looked on my 306 hdi which is having electrical problems with the fans, temp reading and fuel pump.

Re: Gearbox earth connection part
Quite possibly. Its always worth checking the heavy leads at all their ends.
I don't know how practical is it (and this does not always work) but if you get a jump lead from the battery earth to the gearbox (so in effect you're supplementing the existing wire) if there is *any* sign of improvement then its also a sign.
Having said that and seen the lead I'd have to suggest repair / replace it. Check the 'body' earth as well , I think its in front or around the battery tray area on the later 306's.
