My adjuster is bust so just have a bit sticking out the face of the dial which I'm sure would be better if it were aluminium or titanium and not cheap brittle plastic.
Has anyone changed theirs or know if the adjuster can be just pulled out? It must be pushed in after the face has been attached so should come out.
Mines been disconnected since 2007 and would be useful if it worked and I could adjust it.

Pah, what's up with you; at least it's right twice a day. Mine used to randomly run backwards, you should think yourself lucky!

I'm getting bit sad and almost every car I look at the round adjuster is gone so there is a market to do this.
I removed the radio about the same time and still not put it back yet.

I swapped mine for a Smiths clock. Better in every way and I don't mind that it doesn't say TVR because it's still a British name synonymous with timepieces.
I think of it as the Bentley with its Breitling clock biggrin

Maybe I should blue tack the Smiths mantle clock we have onto the dash?
Personally I'd like to keep the original but want to do something with the adjuster. Could a piece of aluminium/stainless work - Steve (stesrg) or Letherby (p5000oko)??

It's got me wondering now ... I have had my Griff for 10 years, clock adjustment is a pin on right of clock, that a deft fingernail or something similar can just about press to adjust. Isn't it meant to be like this???

Anyone know where to get one refurbished?

I may have lost my temper with mine and it might have gone for a quick trip across the workshop.

It is for the precat but I've got a 500 dash and clocks (pardon the pun). Annoyingly Andreas appears to be intact but knowing what a PITA to remove the dash will try and get mine sorted out.
