It sounds like I get the same problem.

The following happens =>

Drive like you're driving Miss Daisy and only dip the clutch when the revs get to about 1000rpm when changing gear or coming to a halt and the idle "is caught" and stays where it should.

Drive a bit faster and have the revs above about 2500 rpm and dip the clutch and the idle drops like a stone - you have to be quick with the gear change to catch the idle before it stalls.

If I can, I'll make a video of the event before I fix the speedometer.

From all the chat on the internet on the subject of random stalling this fault points to a dodgy EHA. I've had problems finding the connectors to check the fuel pressures though, and I've not been "doing the quarter turn" tuning trick because that sort of thing in my experience just causes more trouble!
