abs and speedo use the same sensor.
If its just the abs light on its likely to be the right (off side) abs sensor. if you loose speedo then its the left hand (near side) sensor thats
failed.
Check the wiring first. Then don't go to vauxhall or a parts company. You have to buy a complete hub (i kid you not) and you're looking at
LOTS of money. Find a vauxhall specialist and call them (150 to 200 quid i think). They'll hopefully be sensible enough to import the hubs
direct from opel and pay around 50 quid for the same part.
Mine was on the way out but lasted long enough for me to part ex. I had speed camera detector that gave me a speed reading and i memorised different
speeds in different gears against revs.

Sounds like a loose wiring connector or just some crud blocking the sensor. Glad it's fixed itself!

find another speed bump
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
