Clock not working properly

I have a '97 Disco and the clock doesn't display the right time. It lights up and displays incorrect numbers and random configurations of the seven lines that are used to create each number. If i push on the clock with my finger it will show the time, usually. I was wondering if anyone has had a problem similar to this or have some suggestions on how to correct this problem.

Thanks

dry joint.

That's it, not unheard of with LCD displays.

I have a problem with the clock in me M reg 1994 Disco 300Tdi. - The clock digits are so dark that I can hardly see them! Could this be something along the same lines, i.e. a dodgy connection somewhere, or is it normal?

nope - it means the bulb is blown.

you need a 509T (comes in its own housing). Which yu can also get in a pretty blue .

Thanks Hatty!! I'll take mosey on down to me local motor factors and git one ASAP!

Cheers!

Alright so if it is a dry joint how would I go about that.

just CAREFULLY take it apart and resolder all solder joints with a small fine tipped soldering iron. Then try it again.

or send it to me with a blank cheque .

you own a landrover and the only thing your worried about is a clock not working properly.

ya must be one lucky bugger

Find out if you have power to the bulb first

Are sure it is fitted properly, they are bloddy fiddly little things and its easy to bugger things up when fitting them
