Default Mazda3 limp mode

I have a Mazda3 1.6 Tamura D, 62 plate 27K mileage. During the last month the car has gone into limp mode a few times. When it first happened, I took it in for service and the diagnostic identified the following:

p228c - fuel pressure regulator 1 exceeded control limits
pressure too low
abs - u0401 - invalid data

After the service the car was running fine again until yesterday and this morning when it went into limp mode again (wrench light comes on for a second, loss of power, car won't go above 1,500rpm). Switching the car off, waiting 20-30 seconds, and then restarting puts it back to normal but shortly after it happens again.

Anyone have any ideas how/costs to resolve this? Apologies as I'm new to actually owning/servicing a car (used to use fleet cars at my old company!)

FYI, For anyone outside the UK, a 62 plate means absolutely nothing.

You will need to get it scanned for codes again, if its the same code, then they need to carry out in depth diagnosis for that code.
