They reckon that it is overboost and that puts the car in safe mode. Should a stock standard car be doing this? Or is Ford service just trying to shaft me?

Especially on a car you have just purchased. Take it to a tuner, they will stick it on the dyno and tell you what is wrong straight away. You will probably be spending more in fuel travelling back on forth to ford only to have careless apprentices guessing.

Anyway took it to a mechanic today, popped the bonnet and he looks straight at the boost solenoid. There is the problem. The hose has come off the boost solenoid and another hose nearby has become loose. A quick attahcment and tighten and the car now runs like a dream. Oh well, at least I got Ford to change the fuel pump under warranty!

Even under warranty.They build a semi decent car but don't know the slightest thing about them!
