    Not since I bought it Jennie, but it's no big deal and I'm not pulling the dash out to fix a clock.
    Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!

    Pretty sure it was working last year when I drove it to Eugowra..... try pulling the knob out a little and letting it snap back to get the mechanism going... if the battery has been disconnected the clocks need a jump start.

    Unfortunately the caps are not the issue in my case. It;s the coil windings that have broken.

    better than the tick, tick, tick of the commodore ones...... I remember having to sleep in my VB Commodore once and ended up pulling the clock out of the dash and disconnecting it as it was driving me nuts trying to get to sleep.
