Wobba,
I have exactly the same issue. I bought a spare one to see if it remedies it but haven't got round to fitting it yet. It's a bugger because if it happens I have to wait a good 10 minutes till it will go. Usually pop the bonnet too to speed up the cooling problem.

Mine is wrapped in heat repelling wrap - and then the heat shield.
It works...
Try the wrapping....
However I would consider faking it not to start if I could convince girls to push start it... :D

You want to use clio-girl's trick that guarantees her clio is taken home on the back of a recovery truck, pull out the fuel pump relay :P Originally Posted by cliokongen
