Default Hot start problems

Hi everyone, hope someone can lead me in the right direction. Have a RR Classic 93 Vogue that intermittently doesn't want to start. Cranks over OK and drives great otherwise. Only happens when engine is warm/hot. Not sure why, but radio won't work either when engine doesn't start and loses security code. All other electrics seem to work, lights, windows etc. No fuses blown either.
When motor cools, engine starts normally (I then put in the radio security code and it too works) Anyone got any ideas about 1. my starting problem or what to look for and 2. what's the relationship between starting and the radio (this might put me in the right direction)

Thanks

Wow thats a wierd one, If there was no radio problem I wouldsuspect your distributor module. But it sounds like there may be a bad chassis ground somwhere. I would inspect all grounds, making shure they are tight and clean. also inspect the battery cables, seen them corrode internally.
