HDi 110 - power loss at motorway speeds - oly593

Our '03 HDI 110 has lost drive on a couple of occasions when cruising at motorway speeds (on A1 and M11). There are no warning lights showing a problem and after a short break we are able to restart (I think we did this on both occasions) and drive off normally.

The engine does not stop when this happens but there is no real power and the car loses speed.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is a diagnosis of the ECU error messages likely to help?

There seems to be some read across to other people's experience with the engine giong to limp mode.

Any thoughts or advice will be very welcome.

Does the engine actually stop? If it were going into limp-home, then the MIL light should come on.

Is this a Bosch or a Siemens system? The Bosch one has an electric fuel pump and that overheating is my first thought.
