i was driving up a hill and my speedo just stopped working, odomometer aswell. i don't think its the vss (too cold outside to check) so are there any other culprits?

If that's a cable type speedo (I think it is), the cable broke.

its a cable speedo, i'm hoping it just came loose

Maybe a stripped or broken gear, but I'd vote for broken cable first.

What's cold for Surrey anyway, -1?

nah its been hovering about -8 but i'm in abbotsford most of the time(my gf) so its been about -15 with wind chill.

not exactly cold in the bigger terms, but colder then what we usually get
