I've got a 2002 C4 3.6 and it is driving me crazy. It won't restart when warm, won't crank, acts as if the battery is dead. If I leave it for a while (an increasing amount of time it seems) it will turn over and start fine. I've also been able to jump start it occasionally but often this won't work. It is particularly embarrassing in petrol stations.
A couple of times it has stalled at the end of my drive (which is a slope) and I've been totally unable to start it, with it half hanging out in the road. Tonight is just such an occasion, couldn't get it to jump start, alarm still worked though (repeatedly). Had to push it mostly in to a space off the road and leave it (over night at this point).
Battery seems fine, and I'd expect a jump start would still work if the battery is gone. What else should I be looking at? Earth leads I guess? Starter motor?? In pretty much all other respects it is great.
