2 Litre Diesel Starting Problems

[RoverRobert]

Hi all


My 02 diesel tourer, owned for over 10 years, is now playing up a little.
car starts first time in the morning/evening. Turns over for 30 to 60 seconds and sometimes longer before starting when it's hot.

Also started cutting out mid journey...3 times in 2 days, all on the very busy M42. Coasted to a halt in a safety refuge, then it started up again.

Now, I have always used Austin garage in tatenhill, but last month I called twice, no answer. Left two messages. No call back. Does anyone know what's going on up there?
So I took it somewhere else...backstreet place where you don't get any paperwork. Put it on T4 and told me it was fuel sensors? had them replaced, and fuel filter.
Cutting out has been cured, taking an age to start when engine is hot has NOT.
So, anyone have experience of this?
And does anyone know of a reliable Rover mechanic in the Birmingham area?
Cheers in advance.
