Rough running Focus diesel?
When trying to accelerate hard in 4th or 5th gear my 2006 Focus TDCi is prone to misfiring with the resulting loss in power. At all other times acceleration is fine. What could be the cause of this?

Gummed up injectors. Switch to Shell V-Power diesel and see if a couple of tankfuls of that clears it.

My Ford Focus 2.0 TDCi 05 plate runs rough when cold - like a petrol car 'missing.'
It's OK when accelerating. I have had the glow plugs changed but it made no difference.
Anybody else suffer flat spots at low revs in the Ford Focus 1.8 TDCI or find it easy to stall at low revs in first and second gear?
When I first start my 2001 Ford Mondeo in the morning it is great, however when the engine warms up I start having problems. It doesn't matter what gear I'm in, whilst trying to accelerate it jumps forward....
