Welcome to TA bob. It's usual for new members to introduce themselves before asking for advice. 
It sounds like your car is going into limp home mode and there's an underlying problem causing it. What mileage does it have? When was it last serviced? Any engine management lights showing? It could be a whole host of things to be honest. I'd have a full diagnostic scan completed initially and see what that picks up.

Did it not come with a service history of any kind?

Welcome along Paul,
The guys have already pointed out the most likely suspect in all your woes. You really could do with finding out what has been done on the car previously, if you have nothing, then I'm afraid the best advice will to be to either do a service yourself or get a service done. It is relatively easy to do some of the servicing yourself, compared to some other cars.
You need to ensure a genuine Bosch fuel filter is used and 0w-30 oil is put in, together with getting the air filter replaced as a minimum. It is a very good engine if looked after, please don't be drawn into the "it will do mentality" as in all honesty whilst a very rewarding engine it is also a bit of a diva especially on the fuel filter.
