Was driving around ok, parked it up in a car park, came back and started up - then the Glow Plug light was flashing, as was in traffic didn't notice really (felt a little rough) then the road opened up and put more throttle on and noticed there was no power. Light still flashing then went out on it's own and had full power and the roughness went away. The MPG was affected at first but then restored. Only had this car 1.5 weeks and already had to have the fuel sender changed... MARE!

Google is awash with potential issue and driving me mad, anyone on here had this at all? - Any ideas?...

The car is on long life servicing also, read somewhere could be oil is not very good in there, so might service it and change to yearly/mileage service.

Were the same faults still there after you cleared the DTC's?

No they went away, then came back a few days later with the same symptoms. Today it has been faultless.. Intermittant issue.
