Sounds like it went briefly into limp-home mode. Usually an unexpected sensor value, so might never happen again or conversely get worse/more frequent.
If you can read out engine codes from the ECU then it might have an error code that will give a hint.

Can be tricky to find, but this thread shows how things can go http://www.vectra-c.com/forum/showthread.php?t=101741

Check you number 3 injector plug for corrosion. Also do a quick google search for 'collapsed vacuum hose' problem.
I've had both of these with the same sort of symptoms, but they're both really easy fixes.

Hi all
It has had a number 3 injector plug

No it has not had a EGR valve , i was thinking of going for some gaskets and cleaning the valve today
I will have a good look for split pipes [ any tips best to look ie turbo pipes
Please keep the info coming

PS the car has only 34000mils on the clock

If it's the 1.9 CDTi then this page will tell you pretty much everything you need to know
