Default Transit 2.4tdci warm starting problem

Hi folks,

I'm a newbie with an extremely frustrating warm starting problem with my transit 2.4tdci rwd.

The van starts from cold first time and runs smooth. Once the engine reaches running temperature, the bugger won't start when you turn it off.

Once it cools down, boom it starts again. It will start instantly with a bump start when it's warm but just turns over with the key and won't ignite.

So far I've,

Checked the fault codes with a reader, none
Changed the fuel filter
Checked the injectors and fuel returns for leaks
Checked all the fuel lines and filter housing.
It did have a stored fault code saying the egr valve was jammed open but when I wiped it it stayed away and there's no management light on. So I assume it's an old code.

It's an ex rac van with a cracking history etc and it's been fantastic up until last week after being stood for 3 weeks while I was on holiday and then it started playing up.

Any help would be much appreciated as I'm ready to take the 22ton excavator to it!

Thanks.
