I know that the green wires on either loom connect together and that it should work. Well the only way I can get the dial to work is if I hold each wire, the one from engine loom and the one from corsa loom, in each hand ( squeezed between my finger and thumb). When they are connected together i get nothing? I have no idea what to do to get the rev counter to work so if anyone can help me I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance

so you need a resistance between the two ends you mean? (your body acting as a resistor).
it probably shouldnt be like that but if it works it works, get a multimeter measure the resistance across you, lol. buy the relevant resistor and solder it in the gap between the two ends.

Had a bit of a mess about as I swear they worked at some point on the conversion and came up with this. The rev counter will only work by simply connecting the green wires if, I disconnect the black wire thats run to an ignition live ( the ignition live so the coil works, black wire on the engine loom by the dizzy) then just bridge a wire from the battery to the + on the coil just so that the car will start, then the revs will work work but I obviously can't wire the coil up that way because the car then won't turn off until the wire is removed.
Could it be something to do with because my car was a dispac engine before and the 2.0 is dizzy? Also I think my corsa is wired different as my speedo works perfect after the conversion and I havn't connected any cable or wires to the F20 gearbox, must run through the wheels.
