did the 1.0l corsa b ever have clocks with a rev counter ?

Post by deadliner »

as above, does any of the 1.0l corsa b's have a rev counter on the clocks as i want to change mine, but i read somewhere that you cant change from another corsa becasue the 1.0 is a 3 cylinder and the rev counter doesnt work properly?

yeah am sure you can change them you just have to get one with similar or lower milage. and i think theres twi different types, cable driven and another type i aint sure about.

best plae to get them is probly from a scrap yard.
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

Pretty sure the 93-96 were cable driven (Starts from 10mph) and the 97-00 were electric (Starts at 0mph).

Electric is much easier to do as you literally just slot it into place, no messing about with the speedo cable. Keep checking, I saw 3cyl rev counter turn up on ebay every 1-3 weeks when I was after one. There's also a number printed on the speedo unit (Below the trip counter), not sure what it means but I was told that also needed to match your existing, mine was "K = 26838".

Mileage on the rev counter unit isn't too important, takes around 5 minutes, a torx screwdriver or two and a paperclip to match it up with your existing mileage.
