Ford Mondeo glow plug warning light flashes and car goes into 'safe' mode?

Car: Ford Mondeo
Variant: 2.0 TDCi Diesel
Model Year: 2006
Categories: Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights
Occasionally when i initially start the car the glow plug warning light remains on and flashes. The car then has limited power, it doesn't jump or misfire it just has limited acceleration. To cure the problem i pull over, turn off the engine, re-start and the problem is cured until the next time, usually about a week or so. Any ideas?

You will need to get it scanned and see what codes show .
