Have you got the aircon on? Maybe the little vacuum pipe, that raises the revs when aircon is switched on, has broken.

Under the driver's seat, by the cylinder head and hiding 2 of the glow plugs, you'll see two small vacuum operated valve things (sorry, can't think of a better description :oops: ) I believe it's the right hand one. Be very careful as most of the stubs, that the pipes fit on, will have gone very brittle :roll:
