Really hope that reactivating this thread will get the OP to post back with the outcome as the same thing is happening to my Berlingo. Starts fine from cold, but when I have been driving for a while, park up, switch the ignition off and return within say 10-15mins, restarting just isn't happening. No noises, clicks etc. So far I've always managed to restart but if I don't get it looked at soon I will be tempting fate and be stranded somewhere. As with the OP the dash lights are all fine and once going its trouble free. I'd rather not play change this part etc at a garage but rather be able to give them a good idea were to look and change.

Heat soak on the solenoid? Turns over when cold but not when hot then fine again once cooled down. Trouble is on these it's integral to the starter so a b*stard to get to.
