check your fan belt as the tacho reads of this if the belt slips will cause that prob

I assume we are talking TD42 and not RD28 diesel engine?

Tacho sensor is on the front casing just below the alternator and is 2 wires running down from a plug mounted at front of intake manifold to an oval shaped cover plate held in by two 10mm bolts.
