as up top i set the time and every time i start the car it loses the time and have to re enter what is that down to?

 

Operator error

Could be a duff clock unit, can you swipe the one out the missus cabby and see if that does the same thing? If it doesn't put yours in her car and deny everything

 

Clearly a brave man

The plugs have a yendency to work loose over the years, worth a check

 

I would have no balls left if i did do that have swaped for 3 now and have the same shit i mite have to just put up with it lol

 

Thats very wierd because of the clock works it should be accurate, and i cant see 4 clocks being faulty. Have you checked there is 12v there?

 

will give it a go at weekend if i get time but i got to get this 4x4 fucking done and this frst sitting on my drive

 

Ill take the FRST away free of charge if its in the way

 

well it got no engine in it or gearbox in it. just sitting up in the air: filling sorry for its self cry:

 

Bet its rapid with all that weight you're saving

 

just wish i could do the same with the cabrio

 

does it turn off when you switch car off?

 

The clock should be perm on so if it goes off, then it isn't wired direct to live and should be. (You should only be able to adjust the clock when the ignition is on btw..but is 'viewable' all the time)

 

could the starter motor be drawing too much current when starting, taking power away from other things e.g. the clock. just a thought.

 

spot on

 

theres your problem,
take it out,check/clean all connectors make sure your gettin power from it when turning off
if your not your gonna need to find the breakdown,ive known for people to fit pods in the a pillar and it can touch the wires goin up it to the clock
have you got a pod
