Glow plug warning
Recently on the motorway I had to accelerate hard.
All was fine until about 3,000rpm then there was a noticeable drop in power and the glow plug warning light appeared.
I stayed on til I had time to pull over. Once I turned back on the power was normal and the warning light stayed off. I tried accelerating hard again and the same thing happened.

Possibly impending injector failure. Not a DPF problem because they don't have them.
