Certainly sounds like fuel starvation. Change filter and check fuel pipes are clear and fuel is flowing.
Also check air intake pipework, could be air starvation but that generally creates a vast cloud of black smoke too which you probably would have noticed! |

Wouldn't have thought it was cold enough for Diesel to wax up, think it was approximately -1C, but fuel filter should be warmer in the engine bay?
I changed the fuel filter this afternoon, and on the test run it seemed to be back to normal, so hopefully I will be able to consider it as an easy fix! |
