If it's not loss of sync, then it could be FIP timing. When the modulation was over 80% on my project car, it was almost impossible to start it when hot.
Waited until it was ‘cool enough’ to run the glow plugs. Started on the button. I’ll remember this for next time!Pop into a shop, buy a bottle of cold water and pour it over the top of fuel injection pump. Over heat sensor just under cover and can stop it firing when too hot. water trick can cool it down enough to make it fire up
I have got a synergy box set up solely to treat the hot start issue. I think I’m going to have to look at 1) removing the synergy box, followed by 2) adjusting the FIP timing to get a better solution.If it's not loss of sync, then it could be FIP timing.

The hot start fix is a bodge with the modulation correct, my car starts immediately hot or cold.Waited until it was ‘cool enough’ to run the glow plugs. Started on the button. I’ll remember this for next time!

Got to do mine at some point.Finally after more than a year, repaired the plastic tabs on my lower tailgate trim last night. 2mm aluminium strips glued with Sticks Like SH*T. All nicely bonded, and re-installed just now. The cover has been flapping for ages.

Realise this. I fitted it back when the car was daily driven, and needed a ‘quick fix’ - now it’s an occasional weekend car there’s a whole list of jobs to put it back to proper.The hot start fix is a bodge with the modulation correct, my car starts immediately hot or cold.
With my steel rule method, it's almost as quick to do the timing as it is to fit the hot start box.Realise this. I fitted it back when the car was daily driven, and needed a ‘quick fix’ - now it’s an occasional weekend car there’s a whole list of jobs to put it back to proper.
Would you mind DMing me the process please?With my steel rule method, it's almost as quick to do the timing as it is to fit the hot start box.

I think it needed 15mm strip. Wickes only had 20x2mm & complete faff in the hot weather narrowing them all down !!Got to do mine at some point.
I have one like that, my fix will hopefully be fitting the one from my scrapper if it's any good.Wonder if there is a fix for the drop down springy flap thing that doesn't springy down anymore?
I have to manually lower it which isn't on really.
Currently awaiting rescue in a car park sweating my tits off.
Drove into town, about 20 miles and all dandy. Did what I needed to about an hour later and jump in the car.. and it’s just cranks, no attempt at firing at all. Great.
Booster pack does help coax it into life either so I think the only real option is to buy get it recovered.
