Sporadic lack of power at very low speed

My 2014 diesel Freelander 2 has started to almost "choke" at low speeds, ie setting off from idling at traffic lights, or pulling off from a roundabout. Only occasionally happens and I can't determine when or why, but as I put foot down to accelerate away gradually (not hard), there can be no response for about 6 seconds and then it suddenly clears and catches up. No problem code reports and gave it a fluid flush through the system - no effect. Feels like all the power is choked, something clears, and then it's fine. No black smoke and recent service found no problem and they couldn't recreate the issue.

Check the throttle butterfly is free to rotate through its full range without grinding or sticking.

Hi thanks - where is that and how?

Remove the throttle body and clean it.
Most likely it's not been serviced
