    Hi, as per above I have a clock in my car which no longer works, does anybody know where best to bring it to try to get it repaired? Replacements are hard to come by.

    Is it digital or analogue

    One option K might be to replace the internals with a 12 volt quartz movement from another auto clock? Or another electro mechanical movement from same. Chances are extremely high it wasn't an in house piece for Lancia(*petrolhead interlude* bloody nice car BTW K) and that the hand sizes were standard enough. Maybe look to a later Lancia/Fiat group quartz clock internals that might fit?


    I'll try to avoid the gags about vintage Italian electrics... Oh wait.. I did say I'd try. :D

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
