Limp Mode?

The way I see it you have two options:

1. Put the car into a reputable garage and let them do their thing. Hopefully they'll do what's necessary and you'll pay accordingly.

2. Try the cheaper stuff first like using a turbo cleaner. Search for Innotec turbo cleaner. Have u gone out for a really long drive keeping the revs high to get some real heat into the turbo? I know u get the limp mode at high revs but if u take it easy and build up without flooring it quickly you should be able to make progress without inducing limp mode. If you can get the car running hot and get to a point where it doesn't go into limp mode then go wild and give it a proper thrashing preferably up long inclines as this will keep the turbo fully loaded and have the best chance of blowing the carbon off the variable vane mechanism.

My advice is based upon your car having the same problem as mine but of course there is a chance that the cause of the same symptoms is different. However, I think getting the turbo hot through driving or using a turbo cleaner are both cheap things to try first.

What is the difference between diesal injector cleaner i.e. Redex and turbo cleaner i.e. Innotec turbo cleaner. Are they the same thing?

It was sorted for a period. Then I put Tesco diesal in a few months ago.
