right, i cant find anymore posts on this.
I have taken my dials out and been informed that for the rev counter, i need a green wire to put into the back of the new dials. I cannot for 1,000,000 quid find the wire 
I have a pic *sorry about the angle * tilt ur head to the right, will make more sense lol

Thats all i can see lol
Anybody shed some lights onto this?

I tested each one of the green wires with a voltmeter, with the red to the wire and black to earth on the car body, at idle should read around 7v I THINK.
Then as you press the throttle, voltage increases with engine rpm.
Edit forgot to mention, i piggybacked this wire from the ECU to the plug behind the dash, as mine didnt have one in the plug previously

Mate, wiring is prob all there, mines pretty much pov spec and had the rev counter feed. Should just be able to click on the speedo drive cable, push the clocks in and it'll work hopefully!

Does to me 
I have a poverty spec corsa with minimal electrics.
My corsa had the green wire already installed in the multiplug.
I put SRi clocks in, connected the speedo drive cable, pushed the clocks back so they engaged with the multiplug and the rev counter worked.
In other words, Jonny shouldnt have to worry about finding a green wire.

I'm replying to Jonny mainly, but seeing as you asked, you should just be able to plug the new clocks in and have them work straight away.
When I say speedo drive cable, I'm on about a drive cable, not an electrical wire as found on later cars. If this is what you have then no, putting a wire from the speedo wire to the tacho wire will not work.

Ricky - Just piggy a wire from pin 45 (Tach pin) on the ECU direct to the 5th from left pin on the dash clocks. . . . . . . .then you have a tach wire 
(If their isnt already a tach wire on the 5the fifth from left pin on the clock plug)
