    My Vp did the same thing a couple of months ago and in regards to your speedo, mine was doing the same and no codes came up on mine until a week later and it was the Speed Sensor had shit itself, maybe check yours out.

    just a random idea, but has it got a factory alarm installed? if so check the override switch as they have the tendency to fail and lock the immobliser on also check your CAS, "crank angle sensor"

    Only other bit to go bung is the dizzy hall effect gizmo. The speed sensor may well be dead also - but should not stop the car from running.
