The time clock on my Y reg p38 is loosing time - whilst this does not bother me my wife tells me the clock is wrong everytime she gets in the car - this is bugging me.

The clock has not stopped as such but looses a few hours per day.

Is the clock knackered and do I need a new one - if so any suggestions on used spares.

Can this be fixed and if so how?.


The alternative of course is is not letting my wife in the car ever again so there are no complaints about the clock.

I have had this car over five years - its a good car but has a history of annoying minor electricical faults - this is another daft example of one.

Any thoughts

No, it's working fine.

What is happening is that the huge mass of the p38 is causing a local distortion in the fabric of the space-time continuum. As you know from Einsteins theory of special relativity, this causes time to move more slowly in the local area.

It is unusual for this to manifest on the clock though. Most p38 owners notice this effect by the slowness of forward travel and the long time it takes to get up to speed.

I don't suppose you have a sonic screwdriver in your toolbox..?
