I have had simular problems in the past.
Havent you tried other methods? Like fuel filter spark plugs?

i've had similar with my td, i disconnected and blanked the egr vacuum pipe, didnt seem to make any difference, but, try cleaning the vacuum pipe from the top of the fuel pump (banjo connection), i think mazzy advised this, mine was full of gunk, made quite a bit of difference, only a 15 min job too.....
