Car won't start when hot - just turns-over.
Discussion
OK, I got the car nice and hot (about 93c on the roverguage display) and sure enough, it wouldn't start.
The fuel temp said 35c, so not sure if that's warm or not. I also tested the output of the air mass meter as per this:

and it seemed ok.
No plug extenders on the car - just some sock things.
May I ask how to test voltage at the coil? I just had a bash and the multi-meter read 3ish volts on cranking, but as the car has cooled down a bit, it started right up! I was expecting 12ish volts, so guess I did it wrong....

Late reply, but....I checked voltage at coil and that seemed fine.
Found that the car starts when hot, but only when you turn the ignition on 4-5 times to prime the fuel pump multiple times. Does that sound like a fuel pressure issue? If so, I can't understand why it would only manifest itself when hot?
