Adjusting the clock

[Qube]

oh bugger , i've just been to alter the clock back to winter time and guess what, the adjuster fell off.

1) Will i have to disconnect the battery for the clock to catch up (don't really want to do this).

2) Or is it connected to a fuse, if so which one is it.

Otherwise it looks like i'll have to superglue it back on without getting any other body parts stuck as well.

Thanks.

Depends exactly where its fallen off, but you can probably adjust it with a pair of tweezers.

Cheers,

Thanks andy, but its snapped off completely about 6mm off the end.

Erm - hi there qube, just checking, but you DID 'depress' (handbook) the small black plastic knob to adjust the time back didn't you? I mean, nobody would ever be so daft as to PULL it out like a watch would they?? I mean, that would be just far too logical wouldn't it... erm...

yrs, with a similarly snapped adjuster Tant.

ps. is there help for people like us??

Even 'depressing' the little black knob on mine, it is a bu@@er to change the time ... knob turns, hands don't

Oh well, have to resort to E=MC2 ... drive very fast, bend space-time and reset the clock that way

Errr, you don't have to turn the knob on mine. You just press it in and the clock gallops round at about 10 rpm. You do have to put it forward 11 hours to put it back one hour, though.

Early ones have a black bit you push and turn, later ones have the tiny thingy you press in and hold.

Hi, the clock is on the same fuse as the instrument lights position 10 on the fuse box and 15amp fuse. I don't recomend you remove it though as it seems to be connected to the exterior lights!! Mine blew recently with a short in the instrument light circuit cutting out all the lights!!

Fair play i did push it in to adjust, but because i couldn't see it turning, i must of pushed too hard until crack, sh@t, it's fallen off what do i do now ?
there must be help for people like us, what about a childproof digital one with proprer big plastic buttons to play with ?.

Thanks M-G, I like the sound of position 10 have you any piccies, Position 10 with me is a 15amp fuse connecting to the LIGHTS is it that one or the 10 amp INT LIGHT/HORN position 19. All these positions i think i'll go and have a cold shower.
