Apologies for the delay in getting back with an answer to your questions the car isn't at home so i have to travel to it to do any testing which is not ideal.
In answer to the question after a five minute run the temperature gauge sits in the middle .........thats when it starts of course.
This afternoon though the intermittent fault appears to have become permanent as the car will not start at all. I called in a good friend of mine who is a competent mechanic and we have worked through the ignition system which has a nice fat healthy spark to the plugs however we noticed that the spark plugs were dry as a bone even after extensive cranking of the engine.
To see if it was fuel related we tried a squirt of easy start and the car sprung into life until the easy start was used up. He checked the fuel rail pressure which seems healthy so he then clipped a noid light into one of the injectors electrical sockets and it looks like the injectors are not firing?
