Default bang, now lacks power until 60-70 mph

sorry, i forget to put down what car it is
focus 1.8 tdci 52 plate,

as i said heard a clunk (not really a bang) then the car was low on power, and the car was hesitate to pick up speed, when i put foot down it sounds like the cars trying to suck in air.
