Welcome :D

Sounds like its an electrical/electronic problem. Could be TPS (throttle position sensor) or not sure if TD has a Clutch switch which could be a problem.

One of the TD guys will no doubt know more...

Plus, what year is it and does it pull OK when accelerating?

Who recommended the 2.5TD?

Could be a case of the clutch not picking up, perhaps slipping like mine did.

If it was ECU related by rights you would have the EML on, the orange light with a picture of an engine with a slash through it I think its the same on both petrol or diesel.

So, when you change gear and release the clutch does the engine revs increase but the car doesn't accelerate or do the revs stay low?

Im guessing yours is border line between pre facelift or is a facelift, from what I can tell the haynes you can get only goes upto T reg so if facelift they didn't create one.

Are the brakes ok, plenty of assistance?

I'm thinking either blocked fuel filter or fuel tank pick-up.

Vaccum fault.....(hence the above question)

Or even a main air inlet pipe dislodged (check the turbo on the drivers side bottom of the engine bay), where did you buy it form?
