      I'm assuming dead zones in the power/torque curves - in which case;

      a) run it on premium diesel e.g. BP Ultimate or Shell VPower and see if that makes a difference after about a month
      b) get a remap to gain more power and better power delivery

        Aaaah. Or maybe try a diesel additive cleaner like Redex or one that's been mentioned recently bg244. Slap some of that in your tank before you fill up and see how you go.

          Terraclean might help degunk the EGR.

                See above, try Redex or Terraclean. Or a DPF service.

                      Lol really that's your advise, sell a diesel that's got flat spots easily curable and buy a car that generates even more flat spots but
                      Costs a lot more to fix

                        No sell it because it is a diesel! Hell they will probably outlaw it in a few years anyway. Nasty evil little things.
