Is it a big job to do/check it was on passenger side aswell I'll have a look for the wire and follow it and see if it's intact

I think you will be able to find some details in the HOW-TOs at the top of the page. You could also use the search feature up there too.---

The speedometer signal comes from the driver's side ABS sensor - the passenger side sensor supplies the signal for the cruise control if fitted.

If the lack of speedometer reading is due to ABS sensor failure you should get the ABS light on as well. Sometimes the ABS alarm is masked if it is on all the time to get the car through the MOT, so worth checking that the light comes on when the ignition is switched on as a self check, and if it does then disconnect one of the ABS sensors as a test - if it doesn't then come on it might have been rewired and piggy backed from another source.
