Managed to get new instruments this morning with petrol light and rev couter dirt cheap at a tenner... slots in fine. Lighting is clearer, petrol gauge and temp register, speed registers fine btu it isn't counting revs...
Is this en easy problem to fix? Original one did not have a rev counter hence new one, I am told wiring is in there somewhere but it should just be in the loom surely and just slot in. Anyone have any ideas? Any help much appreciated
Cheers, Tommy C

New problem guys now, just what i need. The mileometer which i obviously need to swap to keep genuine mileage is diff in the original to the new one, so it doesn't just un screw and screw new one in. Rekon i should just give up? Sorry to be such a pain about all this

This is proving to be a pain. 
This is my ECU, right? and the pea green wire in the middle of the bunch which u can just see i think. Do i cut into that? and where do i wire it to on the rev counter
Help greatly appreciated

wow, you must reeeeaaaaally want a rev counter psml
no that isn't your ecu btw.... its on the other side of the car... thats erm... something else, although i know most of the wires from there go to the back (lights, speakers, rear wiper etc etc)

If you have a 1.0 12v or a 1.2 16v and the rev counter isnt working... i wouldnt even bother to try.
The ECU for these engines are mounted on the side of the engine itself. There may be the pea green wire tied up in the loom behind a dashboard, but its much more of a ballache.

lolol mate. Bless my little car (Geoff). What's it like spec wise? As my next car i would ideally like electrics, sun roof, revvy and things like that. I fancy a Corsa Sport 1.4/1.6 really. or a GSi. I can finally insure these cars 
lol, love the above pic. Icey roads are fun.
The obvious question is why wud u swap a 1.4 for a 1.0? lol
