Agreed, that is quite a clue!
Do you mean that it's OK when cold, then starts playing up when hot, or it just suddenly starts doing it at any time?

Difficult to make suggestions for this one, because we don't know what the garage as been up to.
DME relay, fuel pump relay, and a good check over of the injector plug under the inlet manifold should have all been done.
