I think the clocks work from the canbus system,
For 5 Euros for an obd2 Bluetooth adaptor and a copy of torque for your phone you'll have rev counter and any other dial you like including mpg and average mpg if tested all on my panda and it works but I don't need as I have the higher model with all that stuff anyway.
IMO it's not worth adding a rev counter all the after market ones look way too fast and furious for a 1.1 panda, if not I think a set of clocks off a higher model would work.

If they do, you'll probably need a copy of multiecuscan (MES) to proxi align the dash, and correct the mileage. :idea:
Note to the OP: if you do find a set of replacement clocks, ensure the mileage on them is lower -- as MES will only increase the mileage. :nono:

So, in simple terms a pain in the butt to do.
No: it's dead easy -- or at least it was on my Punto. 20 minutes at most. You just need to have a copy of MES to get the new cluster talking to the body computer, etc. (the proxi aligning); and to correct the mileage.
MES is so useful for all aspects of electronic maintenance -- and on all FIATs, Alfas, etc.... -- that it's definitely worth owning a copy, along with the requisite leads (providing you have a Windows-based laptop or netbook, of course...).

And instal a rev version like this:
And make it work. ??

So a replacement instrument cluster has arrived with low enough Km's.
Meaning, soon i will have a rev counter in my car.

Not to rain on you parade, but you'll also need replacement wiper stalk assay to include the trip switch to operate the trip functions

Good thinking, Batman...!
Shows how little I drive the Mk3 nowadays... -- I'd completely forgotten that....

Instrument cluster was not working propely, maybe because of lacking wiper-stalk with trip button.
It was stuck in trip and i could not get it to full distance km teller.
Also the digi display was not reacting on a open door.

nope, just put it in, did not work, got it out and send it back.

You need to proxi align it before it'll work properly normally.

That's odd, I plugged in a 1.2 panda cluster into my 1.1 and it worked right off the bat. Did not need anything new/extra/calibrated.
Slightly more basic canbus system on the Active spec potentially. You'll not have been able to use the trip function though without the wiper stalk setup with the trip button.

Yep, find that out.Not to rain on you parade, but you'll also need replacement wiper stalk assay to include the trip switch to operate the trip functions
Not planning to change that, so went back to non rev counter.
