After giving lots of advice on clutch problems I now find myself with an engine problem on my trusty kangoo 1.5dci. The problem is this:
every so often I suddenly start to lose power and th van will not rev above 1800rpm. If I try and push past this the engine knocks/rattles very loudly. If I nurse it along it will start running properly again after a few minutes. I've changed the fuel and air filters, the problem still persists.

update on the symptoms. I started the van today, went out and it was behaving badly. (the pevious evening I had driven home on the motorway at 70mph with no issues) I pulled up and let it idle and it was not idling properly. The van was cycling through revs and smoking black smoke. I limped back round the corner to my house went indoors for 5 minutes, came back out and restarted the van and hey presto! ran perfectly. Stopping and restarting seems to clear the problem. I've belted back down the m25 again today with no issues.
