I own a 2003 Ford Focus 1.8 TDCi. On Jan 1st 2014 the bottom end went.
My mechanic advised me to get a replacement engine. The only one I could source was one without a pump or injectors but my mechanic said we could use parts from the old engine. Once the work was done the car went to the local Ford garage to have the injectors programmed to the new engine where they discovered the injectors were not suitable for the new engine.
One of the Ford techs said he works in a different garage at the weekends and that his boss had the right injectors, so the four replacement injectors were put in a programmed.

I eventually got the call to collect the car 5 weeks after leaving it with the mechanic and an £800 bill (I also paid £200 for the engine).
I was advised that the car was very smokey and that it would clear after driving a while. For two weeks after, the car was very smokey (blue) on start but cleared after driving for a while.
Now it fails to start. I sent it back to the mechanic on a lorry and he said the fuel system had air locked and that the car was now fine.
I collected it last Friday (Feb 28 2014) and on Sat morning it would not start again and has sat on my driveway since.
I was advised by a local motor factors to pull off the outlet pipe on the fuel filter and crank it a little at a time until fuel came out to get rid of any air.
On the first crank fuel came out so I assume its not air locked.
Can someone advise on what might be wrong as I have spent £1000 on a car that does not start and I cannot afford to spend anymore money on it.
