I have got a P reg 1.2 8v corsa and I havent got a rev counter and I want one would it b possible to fit this? "Dash binnacle taken from a '94 Corsa SRI, milage shown is around 65000." I found it on Ebay and before I put a bid in thought I would get some advice.

On most corsas there is already a rev counter wire sitting in behind the dash anyway, it is, in fact, light green. You may need to upgrade your speed sender from the gerbox to an electronic version if you have a cable driven speedo... Otherwis it will be a straight enough swap.

Some later ones have the rev counter wire in the loom, some need it running.

Cable drive clocks start at 10mph

Electronic start at 0mph and work in reverse.

Make sure you get the get same type - jobs a goodun.
