Speed cable is usually a Suzuki only part... I've always ordered mine from the dealer.

Re: odd bits.
The speedo/odometer cable goes from the transfer box to the dash.
The rev counter is all electrical trickery!

Re: odd bits.
It's really not mate... piece of cake... it's quite a stiff cable so you just push it through 
.... but you don't really need to change it unless you want to know what speed ur going!
I think C&U regs say you should have one... but MOT doesn't need a speedo.
The only time you would need to worry is if you got pulled.. but the speedo won't be going anywhere when ur stopped
