Diesel poor starting from hot

[sniff petrol]

When my BMW 325tds is cold it starts really well but when it's warm it takes several turns and up to 8-10 seconds of turning it over to start up. The warmer it is the worse it is at starting basically, so if I let it cool down for a couple of hours it starts alright again. What could be causing this? I'm thinking some thing's getting hot that shouldn't be. Many thanks for your help cause this one's turning me mad.

Nice lead picture there,
Gives you confidence to buy?

Could be a dribbly injector. Try firing some injector cleaner through with your next tank and see whether that clears it. Alternative is to have the injectors sonically cleaned for about £150.

Have had the injectors refurbished which didn't make a difference to the hot starting problem, but did make it run smoother and more powerfully - especially at lowers revs.
