Sounds like a diesel leak. If its been running say for a hour and you switch it off will it start straight away. check your fuel lines and filter to make sure there are no leaks also can you check what pressure is at your fuel rail when turning it ove

Yeap

I agree completely with coastline taxi

when a HDI don't start when the engine is hot, it  is often a leak problem on one injector.

The best is to put of hose on each and turn one the starter ( when the engine is break down), you will see which one has the more leak.

Sometime it isn't easy to find the dead one......

here a picture, where the man use some water bottle to match the leaks.

good luck
