thank guys when I first got the car it did not bother me it not working and thought it be ok I can live with it, but now its starting to bug me when your out and about and wondering what time it is. I keep looking on ebay and places it see if one pops up but not found anything that looks like it . think I will have to look for a small battery one to stick on top off it or something .

I do agree its easy to quickly look over and see the time, but my phone and cheap watch would hold time better...

I agree Justin, that does look right. Hard to say without dimensions but the proportions and the position of buttons does look right, also I have had mine out and it does look like I remember it. I note it is an LDV part, again a good sign as there are other LDV parts on the S (including the infamous front indicators!). If either of you are going to bid I will leave it alone, if not please let me know.

i'm not going to

Thanks Justin, I am interested so I have asked the seller for dimension details. I did notice after posting that it is off a much later LDV but I doubt if LDV made a lot of changes.
