"It seems to me that the coolant temperature seems high when it first wont re start but when the car is cool this problem is not present, "
i take it you have checked the oil/water ledvels and condition ??
if it wont start when hot it could be heat seizing !!
check the electric fan is comeing on at the corect temprature.
also is there any white smoke from the exhaust as this could be either head gskt going "and allowing water in to cylinders and building up pressure so engine cant turn over etc etc .
also you could just have a dodgy starter motor ie lazy .
next time it happens id put the car in second gear take foot off the clutch get out and rock it back and forth a few times then get in and try start the car as normal if the car starts after this it would indicate you have whats known as a lazy starter motor by doing this you are freeing the starter from the ring gear on your flywheel.
hope you get it sorted matey .
