My car doesn't start at the turn of the key (it does when cold) after i've been driving the car for a while, then shut it off and try to start it again within let's say half an hour.

Easiest way I found is rest your foot on the floor when hot

As above. Press the throttle wide open when starting hot, obviously let it off quickly as soon as the engine fires. It actually tell you to do this in the Metro Turbo owners manual ! |

Antiperc fan, they were supposed to be really unreliable, I never had a problem with hot starting on my R5, even without the antiperc connected. The starter tends to stick if your been on boost for a number of hours, only happend to me once though. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel
