2002 2.0 Diesel misfire - crampy

Hi, I have a 52 plate 307hdi 110bhp. started doing an intermittant 'misfire' a while ago. then stopped doing it for a while. Also a couple of times early morning it struggled to start. This fault also cleared itself. The misfire is now back. Various warnings on the dash. I've had top up engine coolant level. Presuming this is a faulty sensor as the level is fine. Local auto electrician hooked the car up. Cleared all faults and said lets run it for a wk or so. See what shows. The misfire continued and he was baffled so the car went to a diesel specialists. Not peugeot main dealer though. They said it had a faulty fuel rail pressure sensor which was replaced. Car ran fine for the 40 mile motorway journey home but misfire came back as soon as we got into traffic and speed dropped. Car went back to the diesel specialist who said they 'think' it might be the particulate filter. Take it to peugeot main dealer as they weren't prepared to touch it....... On the drive back from the garage car ran fine but obviously something isn't right. thanks in advance for any help. ohhh and in case screwloose is reading...... yes RHS is in the VIN number
