Ford KA Speedometer and Odometer Failure

Bizarrely enough the same speedometer problem that I have on my Honda Civic (see other post) has now occured on my girlfriend's car...

The car is a 2001 (UK spec) Ford KA. Both the speedometer and odometer fail to work at all. The petrol gauge and other instrument displays work as normal. I've checked all the fuses but none have blown. Can anyone shed some light on what the problem could be? Is it likely to be a problem with the Speed Sensor (where is this located on a Ford KA), or is there another control module which could be the culprit? Any help/advice is very much appreciated.

Cheers
Duncan
