It might not be a sensor.

Any fault codes?

When I had Renaults I had this problem numerous times. It would cut out when it reached temp and wouldnt start until cold. It was always the crank sensor.

there will be stored codes so check for those using the paperclip!!
My money is either flooding/ overfueling or the fuel pump giving up. I have seen on other cars fuel pumps working until they warm up then packing up.
Easy to check by ear

there are no lights on the dash, so how would I check?
its okay when it has cooled down, and doesnt happen all the time, so could it be mechanical?

If you follow that link posted for you, it'll show you how to read the codes.

Could it possibly be coolant temp sensor?

No warning lights on dash, not overheating or anything, but started again when it cooled down?
Any idea which sensor is on its way out?

:thumleft:


I've had this problem before but it was erratic and didn't happen every drive. I read that this type of problem can be down to failing igniter and/or coil.

I changed my igniter+coil and it hasn't occured since :thumleft:

Thanks I'll try that. We changed the ignitor, but not the coil, so that'll be the next step.... :thumleft:
