willswitchengage Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 The Corolla: Switch on ignition so the digital clock illuminates (I think it's a part also used by numerous microwave oven manufacturers), press the 'H' button next to it 23 times. Done. The 2CV: Doesn't have a clock. tooSavvy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillock Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 The BMW changed itself, but all modern cars are shit. The VW will be right for the next 6 months, then it'll go back to being an hour out as it has been for the last 6 months.

SiC Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Civic: easy, it does itself off the GPS. Audi: took us 10minutes faffing around in the stupid menu system to figure out how to do it. MGB: the buttons on the radio where the only clock is, are broken. So I'll need to disconnect and reconnect the battery at midday or midnight at some point.

Heidel_Kakao Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I didn't bother when I drove the Proton today but it would have been very easy as it's just a quartz clock with hands. The people on here with many cars must spend ages changing all there clocks twice a year lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I haven't and probably won't because it's in such a stupid place; right down at the bottom of the center console behind the gear stick so it's basically impossible to use safely while driving along and if I'm not moving I'll just use my watch.

fordperv Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Piece of pee, the saph has an analogue clock, a quick twist of the black adjustment knob and all was sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNWeigh Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I resent that you think I'd even consider doing that, it was like it when I bought it, or maybe it just started going backwards. You can't prove nuthin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardmorris Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Twiddled a button in the Mercedes . Not got in the 2cv yet-that has travelling alarm clock on the vent tray. The fiat will probably be showing BST until I get in it next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernaut Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 The Mondeo has an analogue clock with a little button in it (the button also flashes red when the alarm is armed).I had to hold it down to move the clock forward 11 hours. It doesn't go back. The head unit I have in it also has a clock... and it had corrected itself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strangeangel Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 BX - easy, just press the hour button. 205 - pointless, as the clock only works internittently anyway. Peugeot Boxer - I can never be arsed because you have to fart about with menus. I leave it so it's right in the Summer which, given it's a motorhome, seems the best compromise.

eifion Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Piece of cake on my 205, just push in the knob and turn it. The XM I tend to leave at GMT all year as I never have anything thin and pointy enough in the car to get at the adjuster button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreepingJesus Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Volvo - so piss easy I haven't done it yet. Hold the little down arrow button to the right of the column, for the desired effect.Daf - inform the tacho it's no longer BST (simple yes/no) and it does the rest. As long as one's card isn't in the tacho, which I always forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Lexus and Nippa require ignition and a few H button presses. 2CV and Honda don't bother with this clock nonsense.
