   Hi all,
   for the last few days my clock ( time ) keeps losing the correct time and is displaying the wrong time, also the same applies with my head unit.
   Its just like when you disconnect the battery.
   Does anyone no how to resolve this.
   Thanks

   Check the battery isn't draining.
   Check the alternator is charging.

   have you managed too sort this yet ?
   
   over the past 3 - 4 weeks my clock has lost time twice, i come out too it in the morning and its behind by about 7 hrs.
   
   battery connections seem fine, am having trouble starting on the really cold mornings, but it's not happening every day or every few as i would expect it too if not charging correctly ?
   
   cheers.........

   Ye I set the time correctly again and it seems to be working fine now.
   All I could say is check your fuses or just set the time correctly and see if that works.
   Hope this is some help to you mate.
