What car did the clocks come out of? A 1.0 12v perhaps?

If they were out of a diesel they would still work, there would be no issues with them, just the scale would be completely wrong. If they are out of a 3 cyl engine then they wouldn't work.
Best think to do would be to get a set of clocks out of the same year car as yours. The ECU light will more than likely be because there is a fault with the vehicle speed sensor.
I have seen loads of 1.0's with rev counters in them
