its a cable driven 1. is there any other cable you can fit on a valver corsa that'll work with the dials and the gearbox from another vaux that'll have a longer cable?

Yea best to mate i was pulling my hair out before when it wasnt working went back to basic and it still didnt work i changed the fuse and it started working again. This was when i fitted my leds in the dash and the centre console, i noticed you took out all your dash so when you took out the centre console or your dash you probs have poped a fuse i did it about 10 times when putting my dash back in. Pound land came in handy when needing a box of fuses

Hope it is that anyway m8t.

the outer cable seems to be bigger and the inner bit is too short on the non gm ones so it slips off
