Once every week or so just the Speedometer may come back to life for a few hours give or take. What would that be from and what do I need to do to fix them?
Unfortunately, I got angry and punched my steering wheel and from then on, my horn is stuck on 24/7 so I have it disconnected atm, how do I fix that too?
Cheers in advance.

It happens, no worries, please start a new thread for the horn issue. For the speedometer problem, you say "all gauges" and then "speedometer" is not working. So if the cluster stops working you will need to install a rebuilt unit which you can find by searching google or ebay. Here is how to change it out. If it is just the speedometer not working I would swap out the VSS, here is the location for that as well. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

Could it be something to do with getting enough power?

I would remove the cluster and check the electrical connectors and the rear of the unit, and if they look okay get a rebuilt instrument cluster.
