Noticed this morning - flickers and does not move beyond '0' & '1' on the counter.
Revving engine makes no difference.

Just looked in FAQ/Common issues - nowt that I could see there.

Easy fix or symptomatic of bigger problem?

Possible alternator issue... Follow Kevins comprehensive alternator check guide...

Any other instruments affected?

I had similar , I think (?), but the speedo wouldn't play either. Swapped the clocks out for another set and all was well.

IME, though, first sign of alternator issues and the battery light comes on.

Is it worth pushing the clocks back into the dash board? My pre face lift clocks was never quite seated correctly in the skart looking socket at the back. Could see the pins didn't line up with the tapes of the circuit board.

To add, the flicker was intermitant on mine, getting gradually worse until it gave up completely.

The fact it's flickering probably counts out the bad seating with skart socket theory too, as it's getting power.

Yes getting power flickering and rises slightly before returning to zero when you turn the engine off

Just started to do it; been fine until now. Will check as per Taxi Al's suggestion too

....well, I don't know what to think......

As if by magic, it has cured itself 

Very strange.

Thanks for all help offered. Will keep an eye on this.
