There are ways to adjust the mileage indicated on a set of clocks. Its only illegal if you do it to make a false impression when selling a car.
Stay honest and you'll be fine.

i never changed my speedo, just got the speddo sender from the gear box, chopped the end, chopped the end of my speedo cable, and matched the 3 coloured wires up. worked a treat.

i bet thats becuase you had a corsa with cable driven clocks and not electrical ones. or visversa.

the speedo sender i got, wasnt a cable driven one i';m sure, becuase i just had to cut 3 wires, (red blue and brown) i think.
theres loads of people with xe's so someone wil be able to conferm the answer.

The electric sender from my gearbox fitted straight onto the f20 box!
