Mine has 150.000 miles and still turning strong until i'll trash it for a neater install of my Ipad there...

Just yours, mine's perfect. They're the same all model years, but a bit of a pain to remove, unless you can pry it out from the front (there's 4 clips but very securly held in) you'll need to remove the switch console, that requires the window switch panel to be removed, side panels, drivers side knee bolster, instrument binicle suround and stereo. While you're there you may as well renew all the bulbs in the switches and aircon control too.......

Mine losses time like crazy, sometimes 10 minutes in a day other times it loses a couple of hours.....

I get the feeling the insides are buggered - stripped gears or clogged up with dust and ****e....

mine's fine but I know there are some that do cause probs, apparently there is some kind of adjustment screw on the back which makes it run slower or faster.

Probably better to get a replacement from a breaker - don't worry too much about taking the central dash apart as you can quite easily spring the retaining tabs from the old one by using a really thin piece of metal (jewellers screwdriver) at the top & bottom. Then remove by either prying it out or putting a self tapper through the perspex and pulling it out with pliers. Remove the mulitplug, plug in the new one (switch on the sidelights to make sure the light in the new clock works, saves you having to take it out again) then just click the new clock in place
