ZX diesel power loss

My normally aspirated ZX diesel (90,000 miles) is being more than normally gutless, especially when towing. It has had a recent fuel and air filter change, is starting fine and not smoking.Any ideas anyone?
Thanks

Inspect the throttle cabling. Does it get full throttle with pedal at bottom ?

Its been a busy week!
Finally had a chance to look at the throttle cable - travel is fine, so it must be something else. Possibly injectors? (emissions were fine at MOT three weeks ago)

Have a look at your floor mats! On ours it slips forward under the pedal and makes it even slower!
