My Insignia is going into 'limp home' mode...

Limp Home Mode! My Insignia is,2009 saloon 2ltd. Only while on a long journey, the car will randomly go into limp home mode, with a message saying "Service Vehicle soon" And I lose power at a critical moment. The engine cuts power in half. This usually happens when I go to overtake and I am left having to abort my overtake maneuver, which is highly dangerous. When it happens I turn the engine off and back on and it is fixed but it can happen anytime after that. It is only happening when on long motorway trips rather than short spins. I have had the engine looked at by Opel garage and the said it was the computer software out of date. They updated the software and it still happens. I had the fuel filter changed and car serviced. Still happens. I have had the turbo looked at for a split. No spit found, So does anyone know what it may be and what I can do to fix this? Cheers!
