Well ive just looked up my actually car tyres sizes, the manufactures size
and they read to be a 165/70/R13" tyre, and i have 165/65/R14", is this a problem then? lol

If youve had those wheels and tyres on your car for however long and youve seen no ill effects just replace the tyres what need replacing with the same size and be done with it lol

If so, I looked up your tyre size and your car had the option of 14 inch wheels in 165/65/14

I was under the impression it was actually illegal for a speedo to under read but i'm not 100% sure on that.

It's illegal for the manufacturers to sell a car with an under reading speedo. They are however allowed upto 10% over read, which is where the Police speeding guidelines come from.
