ure car is a diesel isnt it? If so, u probably wont have the green wire (which goes to the coil, as diesels dont hav coils) So i dont know how u would wire it up.
But there must be a way
Correct me if im wrong as im just assuming (as ive never tried to fit a rev counter)

mines a 1.2 LS 8v on an n plate and it was a straight swap when i did mine. ive seen some deisel corsa's with rev counters so there must be a way. the green wire is in the big connector behind the dials

Yeah, like he sort of said, you wont be able to use the dash out of the V reg, as it will have an electronic speedo, whereas, yours is mechanical. You'll need to get dials from an early car with the mechanical driven speedo like yours.
