Clock sending me to the future

Driving home from London on a hot day this happened:

It stopped after about 20 minutes of driving now the time is completely out.
I tried pushing the button and holding it down and fiddling with it but made no difference

Never seen anything like that bud have you tried resetting the ecu don't know if that would make a difference

No not yet mate. Probably going to be the only option

@wurlycorner has just had the same problem, the clock's an independent device so either sort out the dodgy adjuster, or just replace it.

Either that or @Donald has been buying more Preludes in the future and converting them to time machines........

Yep, was gonna say that's what happened to me! (Though I think it was the minutes clocking up rather than hours

I forget now)

It hasn't happened again since! (yet).

And yep, @Donald is the culprit, no doubt about it...

Cheers for editing the link who ever did, I think it's stopped now when I turn it back on in the morning if it happens again ill reset the ECU, will help to reset it as 4WS playing up as usual any way.

It has nothing to do with the ECU.

Isn't the adjuster a simple push-button that works against a small pcb? If so, it could be conductive gunk - a short circuit.

Yes, it's probably a bit of dirt in the buttons gubbins.
