What reg corsa is it?? And whats the reason why you don't want to install one where the dials are?

[matty101]

i'm sure theres something in the FAQ section about that, have a look

Reason for asking why you don't want to have it where the dials are, if it's a electric driven version you should find a speedo with rev counter would fit and work straight off, (just make sure you get the correct speedo!! lol)

If your fitting a seperate one from what i can remember reading you have to run a wire to the starter motor.

I have no idea about this one cos im thinking of doing the same thing to mine, i cant live without a rev counter, get the gear change at just the write second, helps in so meny ways!

hey, dose anyone know were i wire a external rev counter on a corsa merit?????????????

[bluecorsab]

if the speedo starts at 0 its electronic, if it starts at 10 its mechanical, on a car with a mechanical speedo the wires should already be there for a set of rev counter dials,

even if the wires are not there it only wants a pickup wire off the coilpack or dizzy for the pulse.....

while doin ma digi dash i worked out that the green wire is usually for the rev counter, not sure if its the olny one.

theres a green wire looped on the coil thats your rev counter
