I finally managed to take a look at this today, after having a CV joint to change, oil and filters to do! I took the arm off again, turned the shaft until the engine was idling normally. Turning the shaft even a little bit further would raise the engine speed past normal idle. I refitted the arm, but the problem still persists when the engine is hot. I've read a bit more and found that the angle sensor on the arm is to do with the EGR, it has no effect on timing.
What confuses me is the dead spot between 1,000 and 2,000 rpm. I press the pedal and get nothing....nothing....nothing.....2,000rpm. It makes the car difficult to drive at low speed. It doesn't do this when cold
