My 1.9 CDTI Auto has exactly the same symptoms you describe. I'm waiting for the bad news from the dealer now.

Well now the dealer has phoned. Apparently its the good old EGR valve that needs replacing.
Funny thing that. Last May it failed and it was stripped and cleaned three times to no avail. They then carried out a repair procedure (no spares were available) and said if it fails again come back to us.
Now it's failed again. Since the warranty has now expired I have to pay for the repair.
Why do I get the feeling I've been had?

OMG i hope it's the same problem i've cleaned it with come carb cleaner, pink marigolds and an old tooth brush lol

If it's the EGR valve i'll just order one from Autovaux save me VX labour lol

Sounds like inlet manifold - mine was exactly the same but its a manual. Read my current thread thats on here.

Hope it's not but if so, it's done under warranty, i'll be really cheesed off if i get shaken by the ankles for every lil' penny!!!

It'll be covered under warranty. Mine is being fixed as we speak (or so i hope!)

BTW is the Vauxhall a 3 year/60,000 mile warranty?

Mine's gonna be 3 years old on 5th May 2009 and still have 31k on the clock!

It 3 years or 0k miles - which ever comes 1st. Get it into them now to get it sorted. Dont leave it like I did with my Focus TDCi.
Tell them that you want the manifold checking and the EGR checking.
