My Peugeot 406 won't start - any ideas?

I have a 2000 Peugeot 406 HDI 90 Rapier. When the engine is warm, the car will not start. Everything works with no warning lights, it's just that it will not catch. After several minutes it catches, or if I bump start it's ok. It's fine on the first start of the day. I've had an injector leak fixed and the cam and crank shaft sensors changed, but it's still the same. Any ideas?
