electrically dead and now bubbles in fuel line

heya - scratching my head here - car was fine when I came home from lunch - but when I got back in to go back to work , nothing - dashboard lights came on then everything turned off and nothing.

charged battery but it had a full charge in it.

car is a citroen synergie 1.9 TD.

fuses appear to be all fine (inc engine bay)

so ,now i can wiggle the negative terminal and it brings power back BUT trying to start it dies again.

running a bypass to the chassis doesn't help

maybe battery or terminal?

replaced the negative terminal and voila we have power! but

now it turns over and over and is hard work to start

thank you all!

got the electrics sorted - now im stuck with bubbles in the fuel line , flowing from the fuel filter housing

diesel primer needs 4 or 5 squeezes to get it firm
