Vivaro 05 - no power on accellerator?

Hi all
My Vivaro starts up first time. However, on a morning there is "nothing there" (no response) when the accellerator is pressed. Revs are just below 1000 and engine sound fine on tickover..? Once it has been driven it has no problems for the rest of the day?... any idea's please .. Already paid over £1000 for a new HDI injector and fuel pump.. the garage can't pinpoint this probem and they are supposed to be really good!! help .... Arrrhhhhhh

hi Michael
the vivaro has a system that wont let the engine rev until the oil is pumped around the top end when cold takes a little longer,my vivaro 04 starts first time but wont rev for say 15 to 30 seconds nothing wrong just
saves wear on the engine when the oils a bit thicker when starting from cold.
