What's causing this engine fault on a 2002 Land Rover Freelander?

Any ideas please? I have a 2002 Freelander TD4 with an intermittent fuel failure. It was travelling happily then suffered a loss of power with an eventual standstill. It will start again after about one hour. Work already undertaken: new ECU main engine, fuel rail pressure sensor, mechanical fuel pump, and camshaft position sensor. The vehicle has been sent to a Land Rover diagnostic centre - nothing - then back to a local garage - still not working. I have assured the owner that you will come back with the solution. Many thanks.
