Flat spot when hot

Flat spot when hot.
My 60 plate freelander has a flatspot / hesitant when the ambient is above 20c and engie is fully hot. It happens when you change fron first to second on light throttle only.In town driving. Dealer can't find it, anyone had the same problem. Appreciate if you know of a fix.

egr valve takes some burnt exhaust gases from the engine and re introduces them through the air induction side of the engine if the valve becomes stuck or blocked it can cause flatspots as it interfiers with the engine emmissions this what i have found rainy-city
