G'day Spook
"La nuit porte conseil" as they say around these parts ; Indeed any trouble of this kind from various sensors should only happen with those who cut out the engine some way. For example, the coolant temperature sensor on the block only activates the warning lamp on the dashboard. An overspeed device does cut out the fuel supply on a diesel engine so it's a good lead which I'll try ASAP ! Unless it's a mechanical device.
To tell the truth I know there is one, but have never dared to try it by over-revving, this 6 cyl VW turbo motor already revs too high for my liking - redlined at 5500 RPM which is as far as I went (when the poor old lady had less mileage)
Will keep you posted
