Changing time

Elliebob · 3rd November 2007, 16:40

Since I have not long has my 1.8 ES this is the first time I have attempted to change the clock From BST to GMT.

I checked my hand book and followed the diagrams and instructions ..... but nothing happend, the digits would'nt change after I had pressed the clock button on the radio and they started flashing.

After about 5 minutes or so of trying, it suddenly dawned on me

that the diagrams were for a left hand drive version! so instead of pressing buttons 1,2 & 3 to advance the hour, minutes etc I should be pressing 4,5 & 6!!! after that 'bingo' the car is on GMT now!!!

Has any one else had this problem or am I just a bit slow?

Can't help you sadly, EX models change the clocks all by themselves

I did last week until I noticed buttons 4,5 and 6 do have H,M and S on them if I remember correctly

Thanks Dimplyred. I wish the ES would !! it would save a lot of bother

Elliebob · 3rd November 2007, 19:31

Sorry czechplastik the last msg was for you

Someone will have to remind me how to do it next year when we change back to BST.
I'm glad Dimplyred, that I was not the only one a bit confused. I thought I was begining to lose it!

Hi Elliebob, if you become a supporter by buying a sticker you can edit your posts. Gets you out of embarrassing mistakes, like I make

Jack The Lad. · 3rd November 2007, 20:25

I havn't forgotten my stickers by the way, in case anyone is thinking that I am a tight s-d.
Pottsy has run out of the ones that my "Er Indoors" would like.

Perhaps Pottsy can do a special "pay now - deliver in 6 months" deal for you.

Can´t have us thinking you are a tight sod...

Will Do Fwh.

And it would appear (from the redness) of your logon that you have indeed

nice one!

Elliebob · 24th November 2007, 13:41

Hi Dimplyred ...My logon is now red so I can make as many misatkes as I lkie and correct them.
I just took me a while to get round to order my stickers.

Having read the manual very carefully I had exactly the same problems as Elliebob and Dimplyred. Must be something to do with being a Supporter maybe ?

Hi Ramsay. I was not a supporter when I read the manual!! I think I was just a bit slow that day........the extra hour in bed maybe!
