As per title once the car is up to temperature it will not restart after switching off. If I dont switch off it will continue running normally.
Manual says AAD not closing, so I fitted another and clamped off the air hose to be sure but no change. Changed ignition coil but no better.
Possibly some kind of heat soak after switch off? Ignition amplifier?

I cant imagine its the accumulator as the pump would pressurise the system fairly rapidly?

I called my 'local' K-jet specialist in Grenoble and he said the same, change the accumulator, don't bother looking further.

Oh well its only 200 euro...

Epilogue:

Not the fuel accumulator, however the fuel pump has a non-return valve on the output and if that fails the accumulator can't work.

Yes it's been an expensive few weeks!

And shes now decided to have a dodgy fuse box....
