If it was me mate ,I'd start with an EGR clean,and an oil and filter change if it hasn't had one for a while.

it could be that the injectors need cleaning, so try redex in your fuel it "might" clear it

I had a similar (not exactly the same) issue a couple of weeks ago. Turned out that the induction pipe attached to the throttle body had come away due to a clip breaking. It wasn't intermittent like yours but just a suggestion as it may be that yours is 'starting' to go rather than being completely defective.

Good luck with getting it sorted.

I would recommend getting your SCVs checked also - although I don't know how much that would cost. I bet the fuel filter replacement really improves things but it seems there is a trend for SCVs playing up - particularly if the fuel filter is old/a bit clogged or the diesel is really cold.
