Whats your battery voltage before you start cranking, whilst you are cranking, and if it can start, whilst cranking

These 2 or 3 voltages should tell us more

Is your car an HDI or a TD ?, if its a TD, you are safe to crack the injector feed nut and crank and look for a small flow whilst cranking, if its HDI, you need to be on Peugeot Planet to look at the pressures as its not safe to crack the nut on these
