Hi,
First, I have to let you know this vehicle isn't offered in the US, so my technical information is very limited.
When it doesn't start, how long do you have to wait for it to restart? Based on your description, the first thing that comes to mind is a crankshaft position sensor issue. Often times when they start going bad, they are adversely affected by heat. Take a look through this link and see if it mirrors what you experience.

Let me know how long you have to wait until it restarts. Also, let me know about the link I added.
Let me know what you find and if you have other questions.
Take care,
Joe
