It would appear I have an issue with my speedo cable as driving home earlier on the motorway saw me go from 70mph to nothing without a loss of speed.
Now I've removed the clocks and everything seems ok behind there, but with the winter nights drawing in early, I can't see where the cable joins the box.
Does anyone have a diagram of where the speedo cable joins the gearbox?
Is it common for the cable to just give up without any signs?

X16xe ran lecky clocks, the sensor may need a wiggle, the gsi (C16xe) was cable 
...oh and the same thing happend on my old lecky X16, gave it a wiggle and it was back in action

No offence mate, but its my car, it's a M reg Gsi with an X16XE fitted, It clearly has a cable driven speedo.

It screws in down by the linkage Mark. To left of where the linkage goes in to the selector
Should screw in there

Thanks Darryl, gives me an idea where to look in the morning, can it be got from underneath? As there's loads of stuff in the way at the top

You can see where it attatches in this picture. To get a bearing of where it is the starter motor goes where that fat hole is

I don't think you'll get at it easy either way to be honest
Might be better off taking the battery out and having ago from the top

Yeah early X16 are cable, probably more of a difficult job on an early shell as the battery tray doesn't move.

usually x16xe gsi's have a 2 piece speedo cable that splits just behind the inlet manifold, then the second section goes into the box, ive got the section from the middle to the speedo if you need it
