How easy was it to change the clock in your car this morning?

[spike60]

1985 Merc, - about 5 secs, 2000 BMW, - about a minute when I remember how, 2007 Merc, - life's too short.

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.

Spare a thought for dyslexic people today. Last night at 1AM, their cocks went black.

The Lexus just knows, somehow. Wizardry maybe.

Or possibly radio waves?

Well, when the battery died it picked up the correct time seconds after being fired up.

But I have lied about it automatically updating...and I'm not messing about changing it either.

Mine does it via satellite, but I have to tell it it's either gmt or gmt+1.

 

Which seems poinless.

The cars were simple. It's all the ones in the house (particularly the oven) that took the time.

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.

Cadillac: clock's only right twice a day anyway

Citroen and Suzuki: didn't change either 6 months ago so they are both now correct!

[They_all_do_that_sir]

Dead easy. Rotate left to make all the numbers go down, rotate right to make all the numbers go up.

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...

[maxxo]

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

[Spiny Norman]

Nothing's difficult in a K11 Micra, did it in about 10 seconds while I was waiting at the lights on my way to work this morning.

 

[GrumpiusMaximus]

I imagine I'll get around to it in Mid-January.

[Momentary Lapse Of Reason]

Clock, car...

No, not getting this, 

 

do newer cars than mine have clocks in them?

Mine has an orange version of something out of an 80s car if that's any help to you.

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! 

[myglaren]

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.

[DaveDorson]

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.

[beko1987]

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!

Never have the clock showing on the radio so it can do one

[xtriple]

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!

[brownnova]

Quick knob wiggle and we’re done...

[vulgalour]

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.

[JimH]

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]

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.

[paulplom]

Transit. Press clock button, press down arrow, press clock button. Very easy luckily.

[PhilA]

Clocks haven't changed here yet. Didn't bother.

That's a modern to me.

But what about resetting the clock

[Zelandeth]

About 20 seconds.

Haven't been out in the van since the clocks changed yet...though I expect it to take roughly the same.
