On saturday my speedo stopped working! 
 
And when i get into junctions...or put the clutch down the wngine will cut off by its self :S 
 
Is it the speedo cable that needs replacing? And is it a hard job?

I had this with mine!! Turns out it was just a fuse. Something about the speedo working with the rev counter. Check your fuses (If yours is an electric speedo!)

Mine did this, I think your speedo cable is snapped. Pretty sure yours will be a cable speedo as it's only a year newer than mine. Get the clocks out and pull the small bit of metal in the middle, if it comes out it snapped and you need a new one. 
 
No idea why the ECU messes up because of this.

The clocks or the cable? 
 
I paid someone else to do the cable so can't really say it's easy! Clocks are a piece of piss though
