The bad news was that they took it on a road test during which the car broke down, belching smoke and sucking (they found later) engine oil through the engine and filling the intercooler. On the same phone call he suggested that at least one of the injectors must be blocked for this to happen, probably caused by the failing high-pressure pump. Now, he suggested a set of diesel injectors, ouch! I sourced these myself using Ebay from Latvia, of all places. The garage fitted the new injectors, the car ran fine and I picked it up.
Two weeks later it cut out again, albeit very briefly.

Whoever phoned you from the garage was talking nonsense.
Ford Mondeo diesels are well known for those types of HP pump/injector issues but not our cars.
Take up Russ's offer in #Post 13 and replace the ECM with a known good one before throwing any more money at it.
