mostly down to the plastic pcb at the back if the instrument panel, and bad earth connections..... but only substitution would rule the clock itself out.....

try claning the contacts with a scotch pad, or a little brasso on a toothbrush.....

also clean the brass nuts that make the connections, dirty brass is very bad at connecting...

I'm not overly impressed by the clock. If I used to leave my van unused for a couple of weeks, battery would always be flat and I'm convinced it was that clock as nothing else was running. If it wasn't for all that gubbins on the back that does the other guages, I'd have hacked it up and fitted a battery operated clock through it and just change the battery once a year. In any event I just disconnected mine in the finish.

Come to think of it, more useful in that space would be an mpg meter :lol:
