After the car has been running for about 20/30 min it won't start when I turn it off.
I've checked everything, but I'm sure it's a starter issue with it getting hot.

My friends one has a similar issue too. His will just click when you turn the key, mine slowly turns.

His only does it sometimes, mine does it all the time.

You'd think battery, but its not.

Both cars jump perfect so it's not engine related.

Have any of you had to change the starter motor or heat wrap, or heat sheild?

Awesome, thanks I'll try that.

It's straight after and jump as in push it.

As soon as its hot the starter won't turn properly. I tried battery's, jump leads the lot, but not tried re earthing so I'll give that a go.

iv had this problem also and still yet to track it down, i thought it was a battery problem or alternator failure but it looks like its down to a earth problem as will said.
at the minute i live with it and just beat its ass when it does it.

Nope, doesn't look like its the earth .
I'm tempted to chuck on a new starter to see if that helps.
At the minute it won't start after its warm.

maybe starter bushes r dry,u need to grease them,had this problem with my 1984 audi quattro years ago...grease helped

Have you retained the starter heat shield or thrown it away .. ?

I had this issue it was a corroded connection on the Plus junction box/jump point i used off the E34.
