The 1.2's didn't come with a rev counter. You'll either have a green wire hanging around behind the dash that you need to connect to the rev counter, or you can just run a wire from the ignition coil to the back of the rev counter. Hope that helps

unless it was a 1.2 sting and then they came with a rev counter :D

As standard? Didn't think any 1.2's did :?

And as for where on the ignition coil-i cant remember lol, but i think there's only 2 places to choose from-so hook it up, start the engine and try each one.

its a green wire which will be in the main loom behind the clocks

[dunova]

That's already been established lol, but which connection do you use on the coil?

And if you're thinking it'll be a green wire already attatched to the coil-not all 1.2's have the green wire tucked away-some didn't even have that.

[burgo]

if your standing on the passenger side of the car looking at the connection im 90% sure its the left hand one you connect it to


hope my memory is serving me right lol
