diagnostics works but only if the person doing it can look at all the information the diagnostics give them and can used logic and experience to get the bottom of the problem, if you can get a test carried out then there are people on here that might help you to get to the bottom of problem, I have had help and advice from many that have pointed me in the right direction good luck

The same symptoms might not be the same problem.

So it is a tD5?
Does the wastegate modulator move freely? I have a similar problem with mine and when I checked my modulator was frozen solid. I've got it moving a little which has certainly improved things. I bought a new modulator for £35 and will be fitting it this weekend.
Could this be your problem too?

I have just got to the bottom of an issue with mine that sounds very similar to yours nothing was showing on any diagnostic equipment.
mine when cold ran well but as the engine warmed up symptoms as yours at 2500rpm under load vibrations and little pulling power. The vibration was just like out of balance wheel. OK I will cut to the chase:- The clip on the turbo hose (the first one from the turbo) was a heavy duty one quite an hefty piece of metal (it did look the part) but and the engine, turbo and the exhaust heated up this clip expanded allowing the turbo boost pressure to escape so acting as a pressure relief valve.
Not saying yours is exact same problem but look for a leak on the boost side of the turbo.

Diagnostics are not a catch all... just another tool in your arsenal.
Modern car's require a multi pronged approach of both technological analysis, physical examination and good old experience. Remove any one of these things and your going to make life harder.
Experience is unfortunately the one thing you can not buy... it gives you the test first and the lesson afterwards.
Without seeing the vehicle, all we can do is rattle off possible problems of which there are many.

I agree 100% its just trusting any local so called specialists after having bits done with them or hearing stories of others

No pal, hoping to get it to diagnostics in next couple of weeks. Struggling with time though, spoke to dan at storm tuning, maybe sort the remap and problem in one trip
