Good Morning Al
I also have an HDi Peugeot and when they work well they are fine and when there problems they can be very complicated, both to diagnose and to fix.
My thoughts, which may be added to and/or corrected by more learned posters are:-
1. The engine has gone into 'limp mode' and will not run properly until it is fixed (obviously)
2. This combined with sounding strange is a further concern and it is probably best not driven if this is a mechanical noise. Going into limp mode normally just limits engine performance but doesn't make it sound wrong, SFAIK.
3. I don 't think there is any code reader you could buy which would help you. There are literally thousande of error codes and, if you got them, what could you do with them?
4. I do not think there are many independent garages who have the expertise to deal with these fiendishly complicated fuel systems and I am afraid you are looking at potentially costly visit to a main dealer.
My good wishs for a speedy and not too costly 'fix'.
