Did you change your clocks for another set? Or just put white dials on your original clocks or something?

The readings on your new clocks will be out if the W= number is different to your old ones. I was going to suggest taking your old speedo out and putting it in the new clock housing, but I don't think this can be done in Corsas because of the size difference (can be done in Astra/Cavalier etc. though - I will be doing this to my Astra shortly).
Only other thing I can suggest is putting your old clocks back in, and buy ones with a rev counter that have the same W= number as on your originals.

Check the cable connection on both clocks and gearbox end. You have to make sure the cable isn't twisted in any way either!
