Ford focus tdci not starting and white smoke coming out of the exhaust

It is a clear case of the glow plugs malfunction. It had happened with my neighbor who tried to start his diesel focus one day.
Even jump starting with another battery didn't solve the starting problem.

You could also check the EGR valve for damages and if you want to save a couple of bucks, then go in for used parts for the focus from Good used Focus Stuff

My 2003 Ford Focus cuts out when I am driving. The lights on the dash board flashes. Sometimes will re-start straight away sometimes not.

sounds like you may have a loose connection at the battery or alternator. does the engine spin over when it does this or does everything die?

I have a Ford Fiesta 2007 1.4 TDCI. When I brake

Check the wiring harness. Sounds like it has come in contact with the break assembly and is shorting out. Look for exposed wiring where the cover has worn off coming in contact with the break. Tape all exposed wiring and be glad you haven't had a small fire.
