yes, the pea green wire is the one you need for the rev counter. it may not be connected the gearbox end.

it doesnt go to the gearbox it goes to the coil.
i put clocks with a rev counter into my 1.2 8v merit and they worked first time with no probs. green wire was present before i put them in.

if you have a voltmeter you could try and measure the green wire, to see if you are getting a signal from it. The voltage should increase as the revs go up.
