Default TDCi Focus - limp mode now won't start

My TDCI Focus went into limp mode and now won't start - turns over but dies and won't run.
Similar symptoms happened three years ago and it was a split turbo pipe, but not this time - I've checked.
Planning on get a garage to read the fault codes tomorrow, but until then, any ideas folks? Thanks in advance.

Could be anything, from a sensor to a fuel pump, or even one of the cam belts (the lower one often gets neglected). Get the codes read and go from there.

Outcome: Fault code pointed to slightly low fuel pressure from pump. However, when reset the car started and ran fine, and has been doing for the past 3 days without throwing up any more fault codes. Car had had lots of short journeys and looks like it threw a wobbly because of it. I had fuel filter changed on advice. Cheers.

To add, they also did a leak test on injectors and all was as should be.
