    There should be some stored diagnostic code.

    You have some options:

    Go to a garage for a diagnostic readout. Free if they know you and are generous(?), up to £100 otherwise.

    Find a mate with a scanner: Cost you a pint or equivalent maybe!

    Get a generic OBD2 scanner. From about £10.00. I got a U480 off Ebay, worked fine. Very easy to use, self contained, but limited capabilities. MAY not work on your car.

    Get a powerful Ford specific system. Cost £15.00 for the interface. Needs a computer of some sort. (COM port, USB, Bluetooth or WiFi interfaces available). Not as simple as the self contained OBD2 scanner.

    You will find a lot about ELM327 & Forscan on this site, which together provide a very comprehensive diagnosis & maintenance tool.

    For ELM327 see:

    http://www.spanglefish.com/TunnelratElectronics/index.asp?pageid=516992

    One of these will pay for itself in no time.

    you will also need a program called Forscan, its free and you can get it from

    http://forscan.org/download.html

    If you do this, post any results here, then someone may be able to help.

     

    Note: Your car may be pre-OBD2 (diesels did not have to be OBD2 until about 2006). But Forscan may well still work.

    There is quite a bit of guff about this in here:
