Hi, I purchased a fiesta 1.4 tdci 2009 about 4 weeks ago from a garage. 
I drove the car for 2 weeks with no issues but after doing 80mph the engine malfunction light came on and it went into limp mode. 
the car came with a 6 months external warranty so I took it to a garage who diagnosed an injector. 
I had the car back today and drove 1 mile and the same thing has happened and again into limp mode.

    Generic code readers don't read Ford specific DTC's in most cases.

    Use FORScan on a Windows laptop and a good ELM327(modified) cable or the new vLinker FS cable. If the car is in limp mode there has to be a DTC.

    Did they tell you or give you the fault code that pointed them in the direction of the injector?

    I’m not too sure?

    I had the car back yesterday and only managed 1 mile before the same problem happened again! 
    they reconnected the injector today and it seems to be ok…for now

    On the off chance it could off been a bad injector that was fitted. If the car is still under the 6 month warranty then i would be telling them you want it sent to a ford garage for it to be properly diagnosed as it's a recurring fault that they can't seem to fix. I would also be asking them for the fault code they are getting on their computer just incase they are trying to fob you off.

    In the 4 weeks you have had the car when did the engine light first come on?

    Did you buy it from a dealer or a car sales place?
