hesitation while driving @ hwy speeds

Any ideas?
I feel a little bit at city speeds but it is mostly at hwy speeds and I tried putting it into neutral so its not an alignment issue. If I floor it, it seems to disappear but just while I'm cruising I feel this very subtle hesitation and I seem to go through the diesel quicker than previously. I acquired the vehicle about a month ago and the injectors had been cleaned at that time.
Thanks,

this is a fairly common problem which is normally fixed with a replacement of the fuel filter to a good quality one not boshi etc

a few of the members have suffered simalarly on mdoc in the uk

Another thing that seems to help is to disconnect the return and feed pipes and pop a litre of ATF fluid at the end of the pipes and run it for 30 mins on idle, it cleans the injectors extremely well

hope that helps
