just had my Xe put in but the speedo doesn't work, tried doing a search but i can't find what i need.

Basically what do i need in order to get it to work, my clocks are electric and are the 1.6 sport ones if that helps. all help would be appreciated.

yes, what ainsley said above. make sure its a worm drive type (mechanical cog on bottom and 3 pin plug on top) then you need to use your original 3 pin plug that is in your car loom to wire it in. wires are:

black: 12v ignition switched.
brown: earth
blue/red: pulse wire.

to keep it simple:

if you have cable driven clocks (10mph-130/140mph)just use your clocks, cable and sender from the old gearbox

if you have electronic clocks (0mph - 130/140mph) the 3 pin plug and wiring for the sender is in the car loom. use a sender from a pre 97 14 corsa sport. these have a mechanical worm drive with an electronic sender on top. just plug it in

I think he means he has the wires in his car loom so he doesnt need to wire any extras in.
