Hi new to the forum but big fan of the 406 HDi have an exec model estate on 230k perfect in everyway except it’s developed a flat spot which is intermittent and feels like turbo lag.....
No fault codes and MIL active......
Has anyone had this? Or have any ideas?

Hi & welcome aboard. 
Mass Air Flow sensor is the usual suspect. With the 110 engine you can simply unplug it & see if it improves things as a cheap first diagnostic step.

I agree, the MAF sensor is the usual culprit, however I suspect a sticking EGR valve may also have a similar effect. This can be temporarily disabled to eliminate it as faulty.
I would try injector cleaner and super diesel for a few tank fulls too - given the mileage, just to see if it feels any different.
