Clock problem
Clock problem
Has anyone had any experience of not being able to adjust the instrument panel clock (mine is a 19RD)?
Pressing and turning the adjuster just results in the feel and sound of grinding plastic cogs and no real movement of the clock hands!
If not easily fixable I guess I will be looking for a replacement cluster, although that raises another question..... Is it possible to fit the instrument panel with the rev counter in my car and is it possible to get the rev counter operational? (Just a thought...

Most later BX's has rev counters, although all 14 petrols and 17 non turbo diesels had clocks.
The diesel auto has all the wiring in place to fit the rev counter and the clock in the middle of dash. But I doubt a 19RD will have.
They think it's all over, it is now!

My RD certainly didn't, I had to make a loom from scratch. Easy enough though, even for my mediocre lectrickery skills.ken newbold wrote:The diesel auto has all the wiring in place to fit the rev counter and the clock in the middle of dash. But I doubt a 19RD will have.
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!
Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...
