I was driving yesterday and my speedometer stopped working, it just sat on zero. At the same time the engine warning light thing came on (the yellow one with the lightning through it?) Im not entirely sure if my speedometer is mechanical or electrical, since the engine was changed from a 1.4 to a 1.6 by the previous owner and i think he might have bought a new instrument panel.

Any ideas?

It's most likely it's electrical.
First off try going on www.topbuzz.co.uk and following the guide on how to do a paperclip test. Once you have a fault code and know exactly what it is pointing to it may give you a bit more of an idea what to do.

I'd say it's likely the sensor attached to the gearbox has buggered up. You can get them for a few quid from a scrapyard or breakers yard.

check the fuses mate. one of my fuses blew the other day (fuse 17 iirc) and my speedo stopped working, and the engine management light came on. hope this helps fella!
