If this only happens with the car moving it could be the vehicle speed sensor, if it happens even when stationary it could be a clutch position sensor (if its got one) or something in the gearbox dragging.

My advice, if you can get any error codes from the ecu do so. Also try reducing the idle revs with the adjustment screw on the throttle body, let it settle for a while then test to see if its still doing it.

Edit: Oh and get a friend who knows cars to have a quick look before taking it to a garage

Another quick thought.

Start the engine and let it warm up. Whilst Parked and listening to the revs depress the clutch. Do the revs rise?

I believe this could give us a good idea at what we are looking at.
