is there a difference in the engines that have cable speedo's compared to electric speedos?

ie should the speedo work if i put an engine that was originally cable speedo into a car that is electric speedo?

Are you certain your old gearbox was used?

I can't see why the electrix speedo should stop working if only the bottom end/block were swapped over.

The only thing I can think is that the speedo plug was missed and wasnt plugged back into the loom....or it was damaged in the process.

I would trace the speedo sensor wiring from the gearbox back to its plug and make sure its connected properly.

Check your fuses also....could have popped one at some point.

You can check the connection yourself, its pretty easy...

If you look in the engine bay from the top you will see a plug going into the top of the gearbox...it will have a wire coming off it....trace that and check the other end is plugged into something!

The plug looks something like this:

Thought as much

Aircon not coming on, surely thats a fuse? Does it have a light to say its on?

Not sure of the aircon setup on a Corsa, not got enough spec lol
