    Check your grey speedo wire is not running next to your king HT lead. Also check the main dash loom earth in the bottom left of the passenger footwell behind the plastic. Also check the connector on the speedo cable in the engine bay. there are 3 or 4 types but they join by the bulkhead near the battery.
