chop off a few fingers then reach around the back, above the cable is a clip thing, push/pull this toward the speedo itself and remove the cable

even tho my old corsa is gone, its still valuable
ok cable comes out of bulkhead here (the top cable)
and is attached to the gearbox by this plug
just turn it anti-clockwise to loosen/remove from the 'box

Yeah i had the same prob after i'd taken out my set of clocks, the cable was jus kinked up behind the dash. Yoinked it gently from the engine side and a lot of excess came out! All fine now
