My vauxhall vivaro van has poor starting?

I have a 2002 Vauxhall vivaro 1.9 DTI diesel van which has developed poor starting in even warm weather,and when driving say on a motorway,the engine revs seem to pulse.Apart from this it seems to drive o.k.The glow plugs have recently been replaced during a service

MAF sensor and/or EGR valve - worth to try
First replaced abt£38, second check and clean up

i am having exactly the same problem with mine. Did you manage to find out what the problem was?

maybe drawing air from somewhere,check all pipes and connections right back to tank,make sure no pipes are rubbing through on anything,think these have clear pipes from filter to pump,have a look and see if you can see air bleeding through these,good luck
