Check the engine bay for any signs of diesel leakage, that could point to where the air is escaping when you switch off. Your model should have a primer pump, (looks like the pump that doctors use to test your blood pressure). When it first starts to play up, give it a few squeezes to make sure the fuel is filling the filter and system up. If this makes a difference you've definitely got an air leak.
It could also be a problem with your pre-heat system, those Peugeot engines like the glowplugs to get hot even when the engine itself is hot.
