I only ask as mine does and I was considering adding in the digital and swapping the clocks for one with a rev counter. I haven't read up fully but I gather it's a pita. Is this the case with yours?
No worries!
It sure did, big analogue clock with no rev counter. Just fuel indicator, temp, speed and that clock. Most of which didn't work right...
I changed it for a set of clocks with a rev counter and an oil level indicator
I have another thread on a spot of bother I had with those clocks reading slow, I got it sorted though

I was considering fitting some clocks with an oil level indicator if I spot some nice ones.
Howdy! Apologies for the late reply
I put it straight in, plug and play
There was a small issue of a burned track but I got that sorted
But I now have a working clock. Plug and play! Getting the plug up there was tricky but had it done in a few minutes
Thanks to everyone for the input
Only issue i had was the clock bulb holder for said bulb was brittle and broke , pain in the ass , but having got rid of the car , its not a problem for me now as my 2.1 is ok on that score and led much better for illumination
Replacement !
