Clock losing time

Mar 7th, 2005, 08:41

I have a 1990 740 TD estate. The clock has just started to lose about 10 mins. per day. Any ideas why this should happen and what if anything can I do to remedy the problem?

i presume its a mechanical one,if so its like watch and prob needs cleaning
you could try take the bulb and holder out and spray it with wd40,it will prob go hyper for a while and then settle down to normal

Could be high resistance connection behind the panel. The clock fixing screws complete the circuit for the clock. If you need a new clock let me know.

All the best, Peter.
