I'll answer your question for the thrid time
If you don't have the wire attatched to your speedo loom at the back of the dash, you either need to find the green wire going into your ECU if you have a rev input - tap off of that, or run a wire from the ignition coil ground to the dash.

iirc its the 5th slot form the left on the back of the plug behind the clocks

tbh its easer too run the wire fomr the ecu (did this myself) as its a shorter distance

the ecu is behind the kick panel in the drivers foot well. tap in to the green wire with a multimeter and rev the car if the revs increase this is the wire then run in to the rev counter and it should work

yep rev with a multimeter on the greene wire on ECU, then attatch a wire to that wire on EC, feed this to the 5th slot from the left on the top row on the clockset block

its worth nicking a proper contact from a scrapyard cos otherwise they are a bastard and lose contact all the time, no matter how well you shape and solder
all in all this takes like 20 mins, this is with fuckups and thinking time ( i didnt have anyone tell me how to do it)
