vauxhall astra estate N reg 1.6 petrol - wont start when warm - Lydia

I have a N reg 1.6 Astra estate that has problems starting occasionally. She will start from cold but not when the engine is warm. we sometimes have to wait anytime between 30 mins & 2 hours for her to start, problem first started when Tesco's had their dodgy petrol but resolved itself, problem has started again but it doesnt do it everytime, it spent 3 days in the garage and surprise surprise it was fine, We have even called the RAC out but it started before they got there - I didn't think of it until now but I had a Bedford Rascal with the same problem, Vauxhall did a massive recall on them and resolved the problem but cant remember what they did as that was years ago now - anyone out there got any ideas

thanks Lydia
