The fact is that a machinical clock set isn't going to work in your corsa which uses an electronic set. I take it your car year is 1997 - 2000? If so it isn't going to work.

sorry, i do understand that.

but the clocks that i want to buy are elctronic too. they are labelled on ebay as gsi/sri clocks but the seller has assured me that they are electronic. He has probly just wrote gsi to make them more attractive to potential buyers!

but any way, i just would like to know whether or not they will dislay the correct speed, assuming that they fit my vehicle.

thanks again

these are the clocks: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0308612754
