The needle lift sensor is around the injector nearest the timing belt (the one with a wire on it so you can't use a box wrench :frown: ). I had this mess up on mine, revs went up and down and it was impossible to drive slowly. I'm not sure it ever cut out but it'd be close.

Are these sensors present on HDis?
Mine hates walking pace without seesawing the clutch and plenty of rev, was embarassing at a recent funeral.
