No reason why you couldn't calibrate it but it would involve some electronic trickery and you would need to ensure you got the readings right.

I would say swapping for diesel clocks would be easier. They're not rare.

Hi,

I have a 1999 corsa 1.7 Diesel Envoy with the clocks without the rev counter.

I changed these for a set of electric clocks from a petrol model and everything but the rev counter works.

I have read the how to in the tech section etc about the "pea green" wire and I already had this in the connector block wired in but it just never went anywhere with the clocks without the rev counter.

Plugged in the rev counter clocks and when I start the car the rev counter goes straight to 5K RPM :boggle:

Rev the engine a bit and it goes past 7K RPM and off the clock.

Any ideas what is happening and how I can sort it as I want to get the rev counter working :thumbs:

Cheers
