I have just had the cam belt changed and what is happening is that when the vehiclehas had a run of 30 miles and is hot, if you leave it for 20 mins and go back to start it all it does is turn over but will not start. But If you leave it a further 10 mins it starts. It Starts in the morning, and if leave all day it starts at night.

May be a problem with cam angle sensor, these have been known to be rather problematic, best to scan for any codes and make sure that the plug for the cam sensor is clean and tight, start here.
