Happy to report my '55 is reading the correct time. This is important, as there is no way of changing the clock manually. Normally it takes a few days, but this time it has done it immediately, for some reason. The car has a mind of it's own, and I like that. I have no idea how my car knows what time it is.

That's very odd, our car has always changed the time automatically, but I just checked and it hasn't this time. The car hasn't been driven since Saturday, not sure if that would be why it hasn't :(

Hasn’t been on to find a time signal. I’ve not checked mine yet as I’ve not driven it since Saturday

The 230 clock is correct (but then again it's been an hour out ever since the clocks changed last time).

Can keep the volume down and wait for radio signal to change the clock :rolleyes:
That’s a risk I’m not prepared to take :p

I don't even think we have Radio 2 tuned in on our radio. Love to listen to Frank Skinner on Absolute and Steve Allen on LBC and that's about it :p

I would rather have the wrong time than listen to Radio 2. It's radio 4 or nothing.

Went out today for the first time and within seconds the clock was reading correctly so that's good :D

We have so many clocks in our house it's a sigh of relief for each clock that sets itself. I can't be the only person that can never remember how to set the oven and microwave clocks :confused:

In the early 1980's police VHF radio systems used Radio 4 on Long Wave as a reference to sync multiple transmitter sites. That was until Radio 4 fell over one day, we then moved to a more modern reference.

198 out of Droitwich - 42,000,000 listeners - the time signal is now out of Anthorn in Cumbria
