My 96 WRX had a similar problem. Within 10 minutes of picking it up from the dealer, speedo went off and the engine warning light came on. It was traced to the connection at the back of the speedo being loose. Dealer fixed it there and then and no problems since.

Hopefully it's just a loose speedo cable on the back of the dash or the top of the gearbox which is a five minute fix. Worst case is that the kph to mph converter has died. A replacement is around £120 from what I remember.
When I had the speedo stop and CEL come on in my 95 WRX it was a melted speedo cable from where it was resting on a new downpipe. It jammed and then jumped off the top of the gearbox! The car ran fine but wouldn't go above 4000rpm!
I'm afriad I don't know which garages are around your way but anyone who knows their way round an Impreza should be Ok.
