in asking my original question then
have you fitted a new stereo at all?
usual problem is the speed signal to the stereo,with a stereo thats not designed for it. this would give u the error with the vehicle speed sensor, also would cause your speedo to stay at 0

sounds odd but try unplugin the stereo then
the date will go off if you have an aftermarkert stereo, thats another problem to be fixed but lets sort your speedo out first
try unplugging the stereo and see if the speedo works

i have never been in a corsa with an after market stereo fitted where the date doesnt go off when the cd player is on lol. make sure the cable is in the gearbox and back of the clocks properly, did the speedo jump up and down when driving?
