Ta mate, I do try, :thumbs:

lmao! sounded good though andy

If you have 1 of them random aftermarket rev counters they usually have a switch to change it from 4 to 6 cylinders, would of thought a 3cyl corsa would need a diff rev counter than a 4cyl, as the readout would be incorrect because the clocks would think its a 4cyl and would be counting every 4, so would probz read less,

I have no idia what i'm on about by the way. :o

I have a 16v rev counter and its incorrect for my 12v 1.0 i need a 12v set of clocks but cant find any.

Ask ian wen he comes on here, think he'll know.

Not sure mate

yeh thats wot i though, that the 12v rev counters only work on 12v's, but the 16v clocks work on all the other engines, 1.2 1.4 1.6 ???

I have a set of clocks (electronic speedo) with rev counter from a 1998 1.2 16v (so the rev counter will work with other 4 cyl engines)...

They're yours -- u2u me :)

has anyone actually swapped the clocks round or have they just heard this from somewhere?

1 ltr clocks will only work with a 1ltr 3 cylinder engines, the speedo will work with other engines, but the rev counter won't be accurate! For the 16v engine, you need the clocks out of a 16v car for correct rev counter read out!

wount make any difference how manycylinders it has.

later 12v have rev counters, early ones dont. iirc

just fitted them to my 12v and they work fine, will try them on the new engine in 2 weeks and if they do not work they're yours

if they don't work i'll be interested in them, got a feeling they won't because the 12v is only 3 cylinders.

with a rev counter for my corsa, the clocks came off a 1.0 12v which seems quite strange as i didnt know the 1.0 had them, getting my 1.0 12v replaced with 1.4 16v in 2 weeks and wondering if rev counter will work.
