hello there,having probs with a 1999 y61 2.8 diesel ,it won't start when its hot it'll just wind the batt down but if you leave it until warm or cold its no problem,any ideas or what consult to buy to read the error codes,many thanks john

oooh could change the fuel line, as some times they let air get sucked IN,

i'm never that lucky,if its air why would it start ok when its cooled down i was thinking more electrical something breaking down when hot with all the electrics on the fuel pump,when its hot theres fuel to the pump but none out the injector pipes and no air when you use the bleed screw

get your self next to an air line blast the electrics with it one at a time to cool them.
try a separate earth onto the ecu .
does it run ok when hot?
others will hoefully be along soon.
ps welcome to the mad house.

Dont know much about the y61 but if it is not fly by wire, then wen hot can you detect the pump solenoid clicking? if not check there is power to it if yes then solenoid is sticking when hot, if no then bad connection/relay or ECU, Rick
