It started this morning but once gets to normal running temp it cuts out and won't start again any ideas. After all the other things we have done thank you

Which code reader are you using? The earlier diesels aren't OBDII compliant so the cheapie readers won't work.

That's what Big Russ

discovered was the problem when I had a similar occurrence.
Plus it's easy and costs nothing to try.
Good luck.

A tech garage man mobile came with his code reader and computer so not sure what was used. But we are now being towed to another garage , so we will see . But the car won't start even when cold .

Just to let everyone know if you have the same problem . Has we had we took the car to Sandows in st Erth , Cornwall and they sorted my car out in one hour. Even though the area around the ecu was dry in the past it's got wet and the rust on the connection was causing it to cut out when warm or cold so just bare this in mind . Thank you Sandows Garage. You are stars ��
