Check the cable connection on both clocks and gearbox end. You have to make sure the cable isn't twisted in any way either!

The readings on your new clocks will be out if the W= number is different to your old ones. I was going to suggest taking your old speedo out and putting it in the new clock housing, but I don't think this can be done in Corsas because of the size difference (can be done in Astra/Cavalier etc. though - I will be doing this to my Astra shortly).

Only other thing I can suggest is putting your old clocks back in, and buy ones with a rev counter that have the same W= number as on your originals.

Did you change your clocks for another set? Or just put white dials on your original clocks or something?
