Nah, we get better than that from our V6 petrol one!
Hot favorites are blocked EGR valve, dodgy injectors, split vacuum hoses or generally in need of a service. Toss a bottle of Redex in it, and a blast down the motorway always seems to get results.
You need to be getting at least 25, normally driving.4x4toys.co.uk - Keeping you on and off the road...

Tony's right you need to start checking under the bonnet.A few folks on here have disconnected the egr altogether.
Try that to start with & then try a heavy dose of redex thru a quarter of a tank of diesel.
