My speedo isn't working anymore, everything else on the clocks work other than the speedo. 
 
I've changed the fuse once before, and that worked but now it's gone the same even though the fuse is ok.  
 
Also my CD player keeps playing up, could this be linked to the speedo? ...If so then any ideas?

Well i replaced the speedo sensor and it worked, but after around 30mins of driving it went off and hasn't came back on. Fuse still hasn't blown. 
 
Any ideas?

I had the same problem mate but I changed the sender twice and gave up it turns out it was the fuse blowing everytime the cigarette lighter was used I think the wires were around the wrong way.  
 
U say it hasn't blown again on yours tho so I'm not really 
Sure have u checked the sensor plug since changing it? Or maybe just use the cigarette lighter and see if it blows lol also check for cuts in the loom near the sender.

I removed the plug and all seemed fine, loom is pretty much untouched.
