Really depends on the engine. When I had mine go on a 2008 Astra Estate, I was quoted £600-£900 for one. I decided to SORN the car and sell it to someone as a fixer-upper.
Sadly though, I wouldn't be surprised if the cost of your repair comes close or exceeds the value of the vehicle. Having 2 go at once is not good luck, and I hope it isn't symptomatic of a larger issue.
I had big problems with a Mondeo TDCI. Injectors at the time were 250 a pop and i needed four. I bought some second hand ones in the hope that I could just limp the car through another year before scrapping it but then the fuel pump kicked the bucket writing the thing off. Thusly, I'll never buy a common rail diesel car again.
What's the car worth?

Duel Mass Flywheels are also a big problem for Mondeo's and Focus around that time.

It's the 1.6 turbo diesel
Apparently an issue with the engine year. .

Had the same issue on a Golf diesel in the past, cost about £500 for 1 IIRC.
As others have said, be mindful not to overspend on a 10 year old car, it might be a false economy, depending on mileage and general condition other than this issue of course.
I'm sure a mechanic only needs to open a bonnet and it's a couple of hundred quid nowadays.

Wouldn't use 'we buy any car'. Not good. As someone has already alluded to..... 'We offer £2,500', when they see it and its issues, it really will be £350, if you are lucky.

i used Halfords as I had a free MOT - the work quoted to pass was around £540, I eventually got it done for £265 at one of these who quoted for the work, nearer as well
The work required goes to all local garages signed up, and they quote - make it binding before they start
Others I know have used this, and it works
Don't be frightened to admit your car has a problem or problems as I doubt Ford would be issuing faulty injectors
otherwise good luck

Yes I can confirm that, bloody things rattling away knowing that's a whole new sodding kit that's required.
As for matey's, his is the TDCI.
I had a Focus TDCi and it was the worst thing I've ever bought. Nightmare of a vehicle and wouldn't wish them on anyone.
To the OP, get rid before the next things goes, then the next and so on.
Bottomless money pit.

Thanks jeera
Everyone pretty much confirmed what I thought. Brilliant little car while it was running. But steering rack went last year (£1,000) and now this will likely be more.

yep agree with that, had a petrol Focus and the car was superb, moved and had more miles to travel so went for the diesel, absolute bag of cr*p.
Injectors are relatively easy to replace if you know a little with cars, although I do think the Fords are hard to get to and probably need collaboration. Had a MG (bmw engine) and to replace was just remove and drop new one in, so easy, why can't all cars be like this?

Oh their petrol's have always been fine as far I'm concerned too.
I once bought an Orion when I was young, 1.4L which I drove to France and Belgium and all over the place here.
I had it for 8 years in the end because it was so reliable I didn't see the point in replacing it.
I still got £850 for it even then. Cracking little car.
Theres a channel on Youtube called SalvagerebuildsUK - they repaired a fair few work trucks (transit style) a while back and they all had similar issues - injectors!
If its only a couple that are damaged, it may be worth getting them "overhauled", although the others will end up going the same way... the poster that said its an easy enough fix once you have the parts seems correct
Heres a video about one of the Vauxhall vans where they had the same issue

Great channel to watch. They know their stuff these guys. I think they are from Kent.
