Firstly seen as my first post on here, Hello one and all 
I have a S reg 1.0l 12v which has just started cutting out when it heats up.
Its not overheating as the fan kicks in and out no problem but its pretty consistent that after about 15 mins it will die completely and then refuse to restart, It turns over ok but doesnt even try to kick in.
After a wait of 15-20 minutes i then try again and away it goes first time but cuts out again once warmed up.
I have changed the plugs but thats as far as i have got so far.
Any ideas folks?
TIA, Wikked

Coolant temp sensor sending a bizarre value probably.
Next time when you cant start it, unplug the sensor and see if it starts then.
Sensor is in this area (but wont have white wires like in the photo... i had to replace the wires on mine)
