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 
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 
Cheers

you need a set clocks witha rev counter from a diesel corsa.
petrol and diesel clocks work differently

cheers, is it just a case of swapping the rev counter? not the whole clocks?
ta for the help.
Ps. At the moment I have just disconnected the rev counter.

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.
