2007 Peugeot Partner Origin 1.6HDi Van - Starting problem - BeVigilant

I wonder if someone knows about this warm starting issue, please?

My HDi van starts great when cold and runs great at 77K miles only. However, when it's warmed up and switched off, restarting fails, symptoms seem like flat battery (new battery fitted and connections checked ok). The starter motor solenoid isn't jamed as the van will start again ok after about 30 minutes after something is cooling down, although engne isn't overheating.

I am wondering if a starting relay is a known fail point??

All helpful suggestions welcome and thanks.

If the starter is turning slowly when hot, first check all the high current connections especially the earth lead where its attached to the engine/gearbox, if they are OK I would suspect the starter.
