To be honest I don't look! But I think I would have noticed if it was
there? Suspect it's the same engine? Mine's done 37K now and still
going OK but flat spotting just over 3000 after major 36000 service?

CUT
Mine does. Curiously, it's much more noticeable in VERY warm weather (in
Italy, for instance), but only if I look in the rearview mirror while
accelerating.

That's right mostly in warmer weather and only noticible when really giving
it a bit of stick and looking in the mirror.

Well the HDi 110 engine defintely does. Most (all) diesels do, unless they
aren't fuelling enough for the boost they are running. It's normally
noticeable in the headlights of following cars at night.

My 406 HDi 110 doesit when it's hot and sunny. You can see the very light
smoke out of the exchaust.
