Default starting problems

I'm in need of more HELP!
My merc e300 diesel wont start. You can get into it but won't fire up, it turns over fine.
1 new battery and 1 new rear view mirror and sensors put in.
All fault codes on car have now gone.
If the car does start, once warmed up if you turn engine off, lock car up, unlock car and try and start tthe engine, NOTHING.
Just keeps turning over but won't fire up.
Car has been in the garage for fixing for over a month.
COULD IT BE A HEAT PROBLEM CAUSING THE COMPUTER THAT OPPERATES THE IMOBILISOR NOT TO WORK.

URGENT HELP NEEDED

Car will be SOLD as I have lost faith in all MERCS.[:@]

I agree with Sleepwalker. Check your fuel lines for air bubbles. Sometimes it can just be caused by a hardened O'ring in the fuel system allowing air into the system.

How old is your car?

The Merc is N reg Jan 1996.
All garages that i have spoken to agree that its an electrical problem.
Star system wont through up any codes for fault.
Rear view mirror sensors ok (new), wiring from mirror down A frame ok, connectors ok, from there on its anyones guess.

Had a similar problem in my 94 e320 and it turned out to be the overvoltage protection relay-located behind the battery
