starts first time, runs spot on, drives fine etc. after around 10 minutes, shuts down. found that it was lack of spark. wont restart until its cooled down a bit.
have replaced the coilpack along the top of the spark plugs, no difference.

anyone any ideas?

I've heard of a problem on these engines, where the crank sensor when it gets hot it open circuits. When I've heard of this before it just caused a splutter, although it might be worth a try.

To test it, take it off check the resistance across the 2 terminals, and use a heatgun or something to warm it up, and watch to see if it goes open circuit.
