    Clock gone awal?

    Noticed in a mates STR, now my vr4. The clock just looses the plot.. you set it - next time you get in the time has changed to something random..

    Anyone got information about this?

    Thought I was 3 hours late for working yesterday until checked heard the time on the radio haha

    Had a problem in my Galant that was the same as that.
    There was a loose connection in the wiring to the clock.

    Does your clock sometimes go blank while you are driving?

    I suspect it is dry solder joints. Can be quickly fixed. I had mine fixed at the dealer.
    We work to live, and to live is to drive a VR-4, around corners at speed. But it costs see here

    Sounds like you got an electrical fault like I had in the galant.

    KiwiTT is probably on the right track with it being a dry solder joint.

    hehe, I didn't get mine fixed... It was just one of the reasons I got a new car... a VR4!

    My previous legnum and my current legnum had that problem. It's been discussed in the forums elsewhere. It's a common fault.
