Read the guide.

Some advice for the future, check tutorials and FAQ before asking stuff like this as it has been asked a million times before.

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

buy a transducer from a mk2 astra gte, get the plug as well if you can, cut the corsa plug off and solder the astra plug on, 3 wires, screw the tranducer on and plug it in

You dont need to set it up just screw the cable into the gearbox and shove it into the clocks theres even already a hole for the cable in the bulkhead with a bung in

I had this problem and just went to the scrappies and got a set of clocks and a speedo cable.Job done.Was a right cunt tho with the engine in place and no hole for the cable.

Or you could hunt the scrappies for the 3 wire plug and buy the transducer from LMF.Think its about 23quid.
Dave_B had a write up with part numbers in his project thread iirc.
