Focus TDCI suddenly lost revs
My Focus 1.8 TDCI was perfect then suddenly lost revs. The glow plug light on the dash started flashing. I was able to drive home at about 50% revs maximum. It also now rattles.

Well it may be prudent to have a diagnostic check carried out in the first instance as this should then show up a fault code, ie P ---- 4 numbers. This is the simplest and quickest way to identify a fault when the car goes into limp mode.
