Been known for a weak battery to be a cause of poor starting, not just from cold starts.
Have you had it checked.

Cured the hot-start problem on my (previous) tractor by changing the battery.
It had this problem even after a brand-new injection-pump and No.4 injector (Total cost = 1500 quid)!

Your battery must be 110% and (importantly) model-specific.
One or two others followed this route, and got it sorted.

With the cooler weather we are having at the moment, I would be inclined to point fingers at the battery to be honest, certainly worthwhile getting it checked out...

Have you changed the leak off pipes?

My td when warm once took about 10-12 seconds of continues cranking at tesco petrol station when I first got it (engine was warm as I drove there!).

And it took maybe 7-8 seconds starting it from cold too.

Changed the leakoff's and it now starts on the button.

It was parked up for over a month in the snow without been started, went to it, and it fired up in about 1 second worth of cranking! (Faster than my petrol even!!!)  ;D ;D :y

The car got a new battery about a year and a half ago, but it has been always hard to start when warm, I changed all the leak off pipes about 6 months ago and it didn't help, I think I'll try that hot starting fix on ebay.

Thanks everyone for your help :)

If anyone need parts I'm breaking petrol and diesel omegas, Just ask and I'll do my best to help.

Before spending money, put a large bottle of cold water in the boot and next time it's not starting when hot, pour the water over the injection pump head and give it a minute before trying again. If it starts you'll know for defo it's the temp sensor and worth trying the hot start fix kit.
Or, if you're breaking 2.5TD's, why not replace the  pump ?  :y
