I'm having trouble starting the motor when the engine is warm/hot.
It will (up to now) start eventually but I don't like cranking it over and over and need to find the fault.
I've changed the battery to new (and also tried an old but fully charged spare, and it's not cured it.
I've tested the alternator, so it's not that.
It DOES start when cold though, so I am ruling out glow plugs.
Once started it idles as normal.
So I thought that leaves starter motor, and I was about to take it out and replace it. However, when I went out after it had been standing for a couple of days it started first turn of the key.
I'm guessing it is most likely still starter motor in the throes of intermittent fault before dying completely but I wondered if there was another possible fault that causes the car to fail to start when the engine is warm.
