I live in Warwickshire and would be happy to supply biscuits or beer to someone localish with an IDS tool. I also work in Solihull, West Mids.
Thanks for advice so far which has enlightened me.

As the last post in here is over 2 months old I guess there's not much chance of a quick response.
I have this same problem in my 2002 mk4 Transit MWB. It was intermittent so it's hard to find the cause of the problem. But is has increased in frequency now and I really need to get it sorted out.
At first the van would loose power at about 2000rpm and not rev any higher a little bit like a limp mode, but it would kick back in again and then drive fine again.
More recently it is loosing power at low revs when i'm putting my foot down on the accelerator there is just no power, and sometimes the engine cuts out. If I restart the engine again it will drive fine again until it looses power again.
I have recently had the EGR renewed and have even tried a new accelerator pedal but neither have cured this fault.
There are no fault codes coming up on bosch, snapon diagnostics etc.
My next step is to go to the stealership to see if they can get a code out of it.
Any help or replies from the guys above would be greatly appreciated. I need my van for work as i'm self employed. HELP

Just wondering if the issue has been sorted now as I'm having the same issue with my mk7 ex rac transit, just had a service and still the same and it did not have any issues when the garage had it for a week it drove faultless until i got it back. Not sure what code reader he was using but he's an old friend with a good reputation hence the reason I sent it to him so I know he's not having me over.
Cheers
Chris
