Just gaffer tape a £2.99 Chinese digital clock over the jag one, they somehow manage to keep perfect time

That would cost me £5.98, as it has 2 in the front, a mechanical/analogue type and a digital one.  No idea why.

But the Shag forums say only a dealer could attach a poundland clock, the only thing an owner is allowed to do is polish it.

My alleged cheap and nasty Vectra clock updates and works perfectly.

For a car launched in 2010, its a bit crap that it can't even set the time itself, isn't it.

My fellow Jag forum acquaintances think I'm being picky, because their dealer does it for them every time it goes in for a service/repair/tyre/whatever.

My ML's clock is a stand alone clock too ... you even have to tell it to go to GMT or BST

I was mightily impressed when I realised my Omega's clock changed from GMT to BST and vice versa automatically and thought I'd arrived! 

None of the cars I have had since do this, so I'm obviously backsliding in life.

All Vauxhalls do it, the ones I've owned anyway.

Yeah, crap ain't it.

I've not had a car since the early 90s that can't sync the clock, except JLRs premium saloon launch in 2010.  Progress.
