Dash clock

Hi,can anyone tell me how to remove the clock from the dash? d8 1997,thanks.

Held in by a couple of clips
TBH they are over kill for the job.
You need to lever it out probably from the top and bottom at the same time - I used a couple of knives to do the job, and just played careful as not to damage anything.
You can try to bend the clips before refitting so as not to exert as much pressure to make future removal easier

Thanks for that plod,did try to get it out but really tight so i will have to try harder!

i assume its held in the same way as the hazzard warning light which replaced the clock in the D9 i bought plastic pry tools for taking out trim like that, basically just push it in about 2 cm, lever it, get another tool go round the sides and it pops out

it is clipped in very tight, i broke mine removing it

can you not remove the dash surround and access it from the back, if i remember im sure its better that way ,,

[FarmerPug]

can that d8 clock do a 12hr am/pm mode or is it just 24hr clock

[Gary406]

just 24h

i set mine so 13 hundred hours is at 1am

then in day time after 12 it shows normal and not 24h

[plod]

mine is 12h with an am and pm on it

i dont understand the 24hr clock, well i do but i cant quckly glance at a 24hr jobbie and tell the time it takes time to think, time i dont have, imagine reading the time off a binary clock.
On the topic of clocks and a middle of the night rant by myself is there any cars equipped with a cuckoo clock

Yes, because that isn't at all distracting ...

not at all what else are you doing when driving except monitoring the road constantly for any potential hazzards or dangers.
