It could be that the starter motor isn’t engaging properly because of a dodgy solenoid, in which case it’ll be a simple fix as long as you get it looked at soon. If you have to replace the entire unit a new starter would be about £70-£100 for a 306, probably less for a reconditioned unit, plus labour.
