I'm not sure what runs the tacho, i think the tacho on the diesel gets its feed from the alternator but not sure about the petrol engines.
 
You've changed the tacho/instrument cluster already?

your 24v has the same tachometer (rev counter) as the diesel does.
 
Lorries have a tachograph which is completely different and not normally fitted to the Scorpio Wink
