Hi guys, hoping someone will know what causes it.

Always starts from cold with no issues

When warm it often doesn't start. Leave it 10 - 20 mins and try again and it fires straight into life.

Its had a new fuel pump in, but still the same

Any idea's welcome

Its a 2000 Model

Many thanx

Andy

start with a code read if it shows nothing then on to a leak of check on the injectors if thats all good I would suspect a crank sensor. Its not a big deal if it is.

Thanx mate, will follow it up!

Would a crank sensor not show up in the fault codes?

Many thanx
