You'll have to go in reverse for 24k miles I'm afraid.

Take clocks out the dash. There's a small key hole in the back of them. Fit the key and start winding.

Just google mileage correction in your area . Or carry on with the clocks but put yours back in for the mot if your worried about the mileage . I presume it's a c and if so it's very easy to do . Find someone with a launch and that will do it

why not just remove the speedo dial out of your olld clocks and fit it in the new ones, winding them back never lines up rite... iv got a spare speedo here and i wound it right back to 000000 miles but they never sit in the center

The mileage part on Corsa B clocks isn't digital, so you will need to manually wind them back with a drill or the likes.

I would leave the original clocks in and not worry about a rev counter on a 1.0 tbh
