is there is a sensor in the manual gearbox on an L reg 300tdi? i know that on my auto td5 it wont turn over unless its in N or P, but is there a similiar sensor on a manual? sometime it wont turn over unless you wiggle the gearstick? any ideas?
 
think thats just coincidence i would check for loose connections on the starter if i was you! there are no sensors on the manual box to stop it from turning over. a manual will still crank in gear.
 
The cabling for the starter runs just above the bellhousing on your car, it is possible that moving the leaver disturbs the cable?

regards

Next time it happens don't touch the gear lever just try starting it with you foot on the clutch pedal. If it is a starter motor cable problem then it still won't start, if it's a gearbox internals problem then it will start.
