Did it not flash any codes up after the sequencing routine?
Anyhow, looks like it cleared
- did it pulse the CEL on/off with evenly spaced flashes/voids, for the all clear?

nope plug the black leads together and count the flashes. 4 long 2short = error 42. 1 long 8short = error 18. ecu error codes can be found somewhere on here.

I think you may benefit more from finding the 'search' button.

Yes well at the moment im really busy with decorating my new house so our p.c and internet are disconected, so searching using the iphone is abit whack but i will be doing some proper research as soon as im finished doing the house!) just thought as it's a forum and this is what they are for (helping the needy) i'd start a thread for some quick answers and maybe a quick fix

Yep. There's a roadspeed sensor on the gearbox and if it gets no reading, then it tells the ECU to limit revs to around 4,500rpm.
As said, reconnect the speedo cable so the speedo works, and you should be good to go...
