I have the shitty 1.4 with no rev counter, i want to buy a brava clock set with rev count, a few questions:

1.) Can i connect it up at all?

2.) If i can does it need a different wiring loom or something?

3.) If my clock is digital (just the miles bit) will it screw up and not have my correct miles on there or will it put the miles of my car on there if u get what i mean :-S

Any feedback appreciated
Cheers

doubt itll work mate.

and the miles will be the ones shown on the donor car's odometer, so you wont have your miles on it

Damn it, maybe it'll have less miles than mine
Oh well, will just have to get one of those little boy race rev counter with a shift light

yeah, id do that, just get a smaller one.

my old man just got one, along woth a speedo fitted in his new mitsu colt (hes a driving instructor btw) and the small ones look preety smart imo, jus dont bolt it rite ontop of the dash, that looks daft. be a lil discreet with it

I'm in the same boat Seb!!
I think you can attach a gripper to one of the HT leads on the spark plugs to get a reading, not sure though. Ive enquired to various eople about this problem and you can send the replacement dash away to have it re-clocked to the correct mileage, but obviously cannot drive your car while its away otherwise it will be wrong when you out it back in.

If you find anything out keep me posted
