How is it when you try to start when hot?

Does it make any noises, clicking etc,? Does it turn the engine over but just doesn't start?
Does it start but die again striaght away?

A bit more discription of noises and sounds when you try would help to give a better idea of things to look for..

the engine turns over normal , no extra noises always starts but winds over for atleast anything up to 30 secs.
even if u stop for fuel for a short time it still doesnt start straight away

Have you noticed any drop in performance of your engine at all.. just thinking of a fuel problem, i.e. a pump issue or injectors blocked or not spraying as they should due to wear.

well it cant be the injecters as it doesnt smoke like that, and we dont think it is the pump.
no drop in performance at all

I've got the same issue with a '96 4.6 HSE. Why would the fuel pump be in question if it only battles with a hot start up?

It could be "leaky injectors" dumping fuel into the cylinders while off and flooding the engine. I have seen this on Early fuel injected engines.

The only way I know is to look for a small puff "if you will" of black smoke after the start, sootie substace in the tail pipe,or a decrease in fuel economy.

Fastest response time on the planet, thnx Polar. Will have a look. There has been a decrease in economy.

One test we did was to disconnect the fuel pipe to gauge the amount that came through on cranking - there was an initial spurt followed by drought. Is this norm or does it point towards the fuel pump?
