Speedo sensor is on the gearbox, possily under the battery. Follow your speedo cable from the back of the clocks over to your gearbox and you'll find it anyway.

Standard siren for the alarm's at the bottom of the driver's side of the windscreen if mine isn't aftermarket

vss for electronic clocks like fitted to the 1.4 sport is actually inside the clocks.
There will be no speedo cable to follow as it has an electronic pickup at the gearbox end.

Check the wiring and where its plugged into the pickup in the gearbox failing that its new clocks time.
