on a 1.2 8v the wire is not on the plug. It is located going into the ecu in the footwell of the driver on the right. You will need to cut the pea green wire and wire it direct to the plug for the speedo. Thats what i had to do to mine anyway

the green wire is near the ecu mate, get a multi metre on it and it will go mental when you earth it(pulsing)
be careful before you go cutting all sorts though as i found a few green wires that did this but caused the tacho not to work properly. as far as i can remember it is in a block of about six wires not the main block that goes into the ecu. couldnt find any sort of pulse wire in the engine bay at all.

sorry, cant help on that, I used a 52mm gauge monuted in one of the vents rather than new dials.
Try the link in the post by Siberia though, and try to work it out from his pic of the plug.
Hope it helps!
