This looks like a good read. It's related to a different car but the principles are the same :)
I did a google on "peugeot 406 hdi cutting out"

Good luck with it, there will be others along with advice later!

Welcome, Billy 8)

Worth making sure the vent on your fuel tank isn't blocked, (try driving with the cap off for a bit).

Does your engine management light come on / stay on? Any messages on the display? is the big STOP light coming on?
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
