The reason for the engine light coming on needs to be checked by reading the fault codes. Your car should have an OBD socket on the dashboard - check if this is the case and if so, the codes can be read using a cheap OBD reader. I wouldn't do anything about the speedo until the fault codes are read but it would narrow down the diagnostics if you could determine whether the odometer and the average speed display still work.

have heard of this before,check the wiring that runs behind the cover near the drivers footwell.

on the pillar that is near to the hinge side of the door at floor level.

it may have water getting in causing the problem.

Is the car safe to drive like this?

It’s not legal to drive in the UK without a speedo where one was originally fitted, NI may have a slightly different policy. I suppose using GPS may be seen as a substitute if you’re asking from the point of taking it to a garage, but the issue is very simple to investigate and the fix is pretty non technical.
