    My 1996 diesel peugeot 205 has plenty of diesel in the tank and has a
    battery that has plenty of juice. However, when I go to start the car
    absolutely nothing happens. The engine does not turn over what so ever
    and all the lights on the dash go out. This problem happens only
    sporadically and completely randomly with seemingly no warning. Quite
    often after leaving the car for an hour or so the car will be able to
    start again. However, on the latest occasion the car does not want to
    start no matter how long I leave it.

    I would be really grateful if someone might be able to give me an idea
    of what could be wrong.

    Sounds like a loose cable somewhere. I've had a problem in the past with a
    cable to the starter motor fracturing which gave odd symptoms and was hard
    to fid as the fracture was under the insulation. In your case I would be
    incline to check the battery connections first. Take them off, clean them
    and replace them securely.
