I have checked the small filter again and again but its intermittent so it would do it all the time if it was blocked.
Just got in from work and it started first time and pulled fine.

All bulbs on dash work, so no ECU faults recorded.

Anyone had as said above valve clearance problem OR auto box ...

100% not brakes, I can tell the difference between engine power loss and drag power loss.
It could be fuel BUT having stripped and rebuilt a Diesal pump off one of these (not the one on my van) there isent much which could cause an intermittent power loss.

Anyone had experience with valve clearances?

I have had this problem on and off for a while.
I was going to replace the engine as it was getting so bad.

I have a Bongo with a 2.5TD which is doing my head in now.
Hooked up my car trailer the other day and drove a few miles with a car on the back and it became sluggish between 1000-2500 until the turbo kits in then its fine, even to the point where on a hill it would not rev over ...

Problem i am having is, when you rev the engine it comes back down to falls to low and wants to stall but then picks itself back up again.
