as far as i'm aware all corsa's have got the wire in the loom and all you need to do is link the pea green wire into the new rev counter? this is wat it ses in the FAQ section too?

Does this apply to a 1.2 Merit E-Drive?

yeah the rev counter would need to be from another 3 cylinder corsa or it would read wrong, not sure if any of the 1.0 corsa bs had them (the corsa C certainly do). If buying an aftermarket counter make sure it can be switched to a 3 cylinder mode. People have the same problem fitting a V6 engine to astras etc.

Yeah i agree, will need to be the right one from another 3 cylinder corsa! As for the question about the E-drive one, you will need to run the green wire up from down near the ECU. take off the kick panel and there is a square plug with 9 wires going into one side, and 8 coming out the other and going up 2 the dash. The one that doesnt carry on is the green one, so connect that up and take it round the back of the clocks. I got a plug from a scrappy so i could put a proper pin in it behind the dash so it aint a bodge connection. As for the rev counter u will need a set from a petrol corsa with a cable driven speedo.
Simple when you know how
