Loss of power and engine management light coming on, fault code stored for turbo overboost, suspect fault due to sticking turbo vanes.
The fault was cured by adding Forté Diesel Turbo Cleaner and Forté Diesel Specialist Injector Cleaner into the fuel tank, running the engine on idle for 30 minutes and carrying out an extended road test with varying loads and speeds of the engine.
Thanks to Duncan at D G Autos in Sevenoaks, Kent.
