Default Hard to start when at operating temp

G'Day everyone,

as the title suggests, the old girl has just started this its an AU 1 with about 270k on the clock, serviced fairly regularly.

When the car gets warm/hot (operating temp) it is hard to start even just a short trip to the shops will be enough. Yesterday I thought that I was going to be stranded at Greenslopes Hospital after a visit to a specialist, I had to drive in from the north side of Brisbane about 54k's the car sat for about one (1) hour whilst I was there.
Once it gets going not a prob no misses nothing just drives like it has always done.

Any help or suggestions would be good, I have been thinking that the coil maybe on its way out as it has never been replaced, or at the very least the plugs and leads although they were replaced about 15k ago, the battery is all good as it is cranking over really good.

Thanks in advance
Whiskers
