My son had the same problem on his 04 Avensis with the 2Ltr 4D4 Diesel and it turned out to be dust from the clutch had been drawn into the starter motor and this was causing a problem when the engine reached operating temperature. He would have to wait for about 20 to 30 min's before it would restart. After fitting a new starter motor this has cured his hot starting problem. Hope this helps. Good luck.
