This could point to the problem being in the wiring from the speed sensor to the joint bomb. Perhaps the solution is to cut YR and YB and remake the wiring from the speed sensor plug to the bomb? RIchardV6 does this sound sensible?

Sincere apologies Chris, I failed to fully read Laurens last post blush and was fixating on what he had previously told us. So now yes your suggestion sounds sensible although Laurens confirms previously he had tried the working speed sensor from his other car with no change to idling fault, presumably by using its own plug into the chassis loom, which would surely rule out any fault on the original sensor confused2

For clarity the image below shows the speed sensor connection top left and what I still presume is the raw speed signal distribution bombtail bottom right. This is unusual in the fact all four wires are differing colours.

Perhaps Laurens could re-confirm the engine idles correctly with the speed sensor disconnected. This would prove idling issues are not being caused by the YB or YR wires within the chassis loom as they route directly and exclusively to the engine loom connection.
