myglaren Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 As with most things I will procrastinate until the spirit moves me. Takes about two minutes to page through the menu and then wind it forward 24 hours, miss it and repeat ad infinitum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Martin Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Mine does it via satellite, but I have to tell it it's either gmt or gmt+1.  Which seems poinless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous user Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 The cars were simple. It's all the ones in the house (particularly the oven) that took the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_70s Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Doloshite doesn't have a clock. Acclaim's clock has stuck buttons so just displays random times anyway. 1850's clock is 200 miles away but as I recall was just a 'push in and twist' type affair, used to loose 15mins a week.

AndyW201 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Corsa did it automatically. First car I've had that does! I will be making up for it tomorrow though with the torturous act that is altering the clock on the Sprinter... Nicola H 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxo Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 picasso, pretty easy once you get into the menu and push the button a million times......was driving on a country road at 60 at the time to add to the excitement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beko1987 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I have not touched my car all weekend, and when I go out in about 15 minutes to work I probably won't touch it then either! Need to take a biro out to do the clock, just h and m buttons, easy! Ohdearme and myglaren 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myglaren Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Just noticed that the Kindl is showing the right time. Car, oven and microwave still BST. Watch battery died so that's no use at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveDorson Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Radio clock did itself in the car. The analogue clock in the Mondeo, I held the button down when in traffic until it had the right time, so dead easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I realized my H button was sticking out enough to not need a pens so I jabbed it 11 times whilst negotiating corners and it's the right time now!

xtriple Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 The clock in mine was wrong anyway as it just had a new battery, I was waiting for this update of the time... Get the book out, find page 101 and read the instructions. Don't quite comprehend so read them again, feel a bit more confident so try to find the menu they are on about. Not that one. No, not that one either... Still not that one... Finally find the correct menu and then push the wrong button so have to start again. After a fair while, find the correct menu, get to 'time setting' and set the time. Then the date. Then the year. And now we are stuck, I can't get out of that menu! Read the book again, press random buttons madly, finally the clock is set and I have escaped the dreaded menu settings and have a normal display. In the time it took, the car de-fogged itself and it was toasty warm inside. What a faff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulgalour Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 The clock in the BX has a blatant disregard for the measurement of the passage of time, I'm yet to see it display the time it actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimH Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Most are fairly easy or it it themselves. The one in the Combo van is unbelieveable. A ridiculous number of vague stabs at random most of which turn the speed warning on, make the panel lights go dim or point the headlamps at the stars. Whoever designed it needs a kick in the temple.

meggersdog Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Jumped in the Peugeot this morning and it's displaying the right time for the first time in six months. the Mercedes was a quick twindle of the knob as was the Range Rover. The display in the Discovery is so faint there's no point changing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelandeth Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 About 20 seconds. Haven't been out in the van since the clocks changed yet...though I expect it to take roughly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
