I currently have an issue with my speedo. I think its the connector from the speedo drive into the loom that's an issue as the connector itself is full of corrosion.

My question is can these connectors be bought and put onto fresh wire? If so where can I get them?

Looks like a molex connector to me, you can probably take it off a computer PSU loom and resolder them in or buy some molex connectors locally.

There is also a company called superseal, who do water sealed 2-4 pole (wire) connectors and you can get them tailed so you just need to solder them in (instead of crimping and wiring yourself).
 
if you cant find a suitable connector you can cut both connectors off and replace with spade connectors and cover with heat shrink and then over lay with adhesive heat shrink so that its water tight. (but if you ever do need to undo it you haven't glued it shut)
 
It did cross my mind but if the speedo drive itself fails I will have to faff again to get it to pair up with the new connection on the loom
 
Update:
Bought a connector from Kojaycat and its exactly what I was looking for. Just need to get round to replacing it now
