Just now whilst I was out - looked to check my speed and its frozen at zero - was working fine a couple of minutes before - rev counters still fine, is it just the cable that needs replacing ?

Probably...........................

If the cable is OK then it could be the drive mechanism at the wheel or the speedo itself

Nearly certain to be the cable

I had the drive go not long ago, take the cable off the drive and spin it with your fingers to see if you get a little flick on the speedo.

have you fitted the cable properly as there is a notch on the bottom end that fits into the speedo drive if i remember rightly?
