Vauxhall Astra starting problem

Car: Vauxhall Astra
Variant: 1.7 TURBO DIESEL
Model Year: 2004

Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss

In everyday general use my car starts perfectly. Once or twice a week I carry out a 55mile journey. About 30 mins to 90 mins following this longish journey my car will not start. No problem with the battery turning over. It's as if the immobiliser is on. After about 90 mins following the journey, all is ok again until my next long journey. Any ideas would be welcome.
