Perfect timing for this thread.... Happened identically to my wifes WP whilst on her way to work on a couple of occassions... Have now replaced the speedo sensor and so far, it has been trouble free for the past 4 days.!

Similar issue is common on the XR5 where the speedo dies and a few lights come on the dash.
