My bosses td5 used to do this quite a bit and would never start if it went into the red.
Normally turning the ignition on/off a few times cleared it.
Eventually found it was related to one of the yellow relays under the drivers seat. Boss never got it sorted properly but whenever it happended we just wiggled the yellow relay and it came back to life.
Sometimes just slamming the drivers door quite hard used to solve it as well!!!!

just had our 300tdi back from a blown head gasket repair. the temp gauge worked ok before but now it goes into the red after ten minutes driving, UNTIL we turn off some electrics ( wipers / lights / de mister ) and then needle comes back into middle of the scale. coolent in the header tank was cold when i dipped my pinky into it. the wonders of LR.
