Ford Focus TDCI cuts out when driving -glow plug indicator flashe
My ford focus 1.6 TDCI cuts out when driving. The coil light on the dash board flashes. Sometimes will re-start straight away sometimes not. Ford garage diagnostics found no faults registered!
I have disconnected mobiliser in the foot well, car was ok for a few hours but returned back to indicators flashing very slowly about every 20 secI have disconnected mobiliser in the foot well, car was ok for a few hours but returned back to indicators flashing very slowly about every 20 sec

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
does the glow plug/coil light flash at all???? once would indicate glow plug relay fault! three times would indicate FUEL pump failure! sorry never experienced two flashes....
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.
Hi, You need to plug this into a code reader and see what codes are stored the most common reason for the engine cutting out is internal fuel pump failure will also cause poor starting
