gray4850 mondeo tdci flashing glow plug light
i have a 2006 mondeo tdci ST. sometimes i start the engine from cold and it starts with no problems but if i turn it off within a couple of minutes if i try to re-start the glow plug light flashes and i have no power. if i leave it for about 30mins it will start again ok. the car is running fine and the light does'nt come on when i'm going. any answers please

Glow plug light flashing is putting you in limp mode hence no power. Fault code reader is going to be your best bet to get any DTC codes and the freeze frame data.

As Bobster says, you'll get nowhere without the fault codes being read.
Starting issues are often linked to the cam sensor, but it's pointless changing it until you've made sure that's what's at fault. Any competent garage will have a code reader and it will take them less than 5 mins to read the codes.
