2.0d x-type 2005 Est. Starting problems when engine is warm
I have a 2.0d x-type 2005 Est. The car starts fine from cold with no effort at all and the engine runs perfectly. What happens is that, the engine refuses to start when warm. It will start first time as many times as I like when cold but after running it for about 20 minutes if I turn it off it will not re-start until between 5 to 10 attempts. Once it starts, it will run perfectly again. It has never let me down when driving.

Ok, time for car school. The vehicle is operated by the computer, every electrical concept that is. When the engine is cold, it starts fine because the computer has placed it in "cold start mode", putting more fuel into the engine than normally would until Once the engine is warmed up, a temperature sending unit or temp sensor tells the computer to change to normal run mode. IF said temp sensor is faulty and is not telling the computer to make said change, it stays in cold start mode, still dumping excess fuel in the engine that is now not required, cause it's warmed up. Like keeping the choke closed on older vehicles. Now I think you can answer your own question, when this no start action is happening after warm up and it always starts fine when cold, what's the first thing you check ? Right, the unsuspected temp sensor. Change that and no more start problem. Have a wonderful day. Glad I could be of service.
