Think you'll need clocks from a three cylinder car as well.

You can replace the whole set of clocks for ones from a 12v with a rev counter, but they can be hard to get hold of. I don't know whether you need specific 3 cylinder ones for aftermarket parts, if there is such a thing.

Simply get some clocks from a better model, such as a GLS. They have rev counters. It's a simple swap, but make sure that yours and the donor clocks match for example:
mechanical to mechanical clocks
or
electric to electric clocks
(just check the connections at the back are the same)

No, electrical clocks are plug and play. You just push them into place

That's what I did, the only trouble is finding some that have come from a 1.0 model.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to check the green wire is connected to the plug behind your clocks though, as I've heard cases of it not being there sometimes. You should be able to fit one in though as it's just the one wire.

No Corsa C clocks won't fit without a hell of a lot of work. As for the green wire, its not always there, I had to run my own wire direct from the ECU plug in the engine bay up to the block behind the clocks. Can't mind which pin was correct though.
