Don't know anything more than the bare outline here, pub mate tale:

Kangoo Diesel cylinder head gasket failure - replaced.. runs happily.
Starts cold, won't restart whilst warm..

Any ideas?

I have a Kangoo Van with 1500 Diesel ,,just over 100,000,, very
pleased at how reliable it is..
Except for one prob when i first got it,, it kept locking me out with
the key in the ignition..
Only way in was to prise door open at top and snag the key out with a
long welding rod..
Ended up with a bent door that does not close nice like before..

And so i reluctantly took the plunge for another key,, they are not
cheep!
They had to re-register the computer to the new key fob,, and when all
was done it would not start..
The mechanics were at it for ages but not with spanners,,they use a
laptop to adjust so many setting you cannot imagine..

Anyway it is back as before,, a very reliable starter..Well worth
having someone who knows what they are doing hook the laptop up on
your mates van..
I cant see why it shoud be reluctant to start after a new gasket if
the job is done properly..
Is there any chance he may have the timing belt out by a notch.
