Ford focus engine service light

    So car was serviced in December and NCT in January, all good.

    It's a diesel and I don't do a lot of mileage which is an issue.

    Anyway on Saturday I drove approx 26 km roundtrip getting up to speed of around 70km/h car was grand. Now there was a rattle but I've crap hearing so I don't know if it was just the "thingy that diesel cars do" kicking in.....I had flagged it at service and guy said no everything is fine. So not a new thing.

    Anyway dropped kids home and turned around to do grocery shop approx 1 km away, again no problem.

    On way home as I'm turning going from 2nd to 3rd the car shuddered and amber engine light and abs light came on. So limped the car home at 30km/h .

    Turned car off obviously, then restarted it but it started fine with no warnings.

    Left it be until this morning, started absolutely fine, took it for a very small spin around the block and everything felt smooth didn't feel any resistance to acceleration though speeds were low as housing estate. No warning lights

    Obviously fuel injection is the main one but last time that went the car really had no power , even starting the engine you knew there was a significant issue.

    I had booked in for service on website, but seemingly the website isn't great so the slot wasnt available, but they have said bring it up early and they'll try to squeeze it in.

    I didn't reset warnings or anything....well beyond my skillset....so I'd expect to be still getting warnings if there was an issue.

    Anyone in the know care to share what could be going on? Full tank of diesel filled week before, definitely diesel as one used prepay pump and two I'm abit ocd on checking what I'm doing when it comes to filling the car.
