Transit van losing power/cutting out Sign In

Hi, first timer here, I have problems when accelerating in my 125 T280 2004 Transit, normal use is normally fine, however when accelerating uphill or overtaking, the glow plug light flashes and the van loses power, this stays the same until I park up and turn ignition off then restart, this can happen once a day or 10 times in an hour, it also has started to get worse, if I continue to accelerate after power is down after around 2-3 seconds the van cuts out altogether, if I hold back on the accelerator when I notice power is down, it carries on running just with lower power, earlier today I was travelling along the mway and both dials were jumping and mileage clock is blank dials were going from 0 to 60mph and 0 to 3500rpm, the glow plug light was flashing and te van ran normally, although at lower power, hopefully someone can shed some light on this, thanks in advance, Jason.

This isn't sold in the US, so might not have much luck here as all mods are american or canadian.
