(Pre-war cars had wind up clocks). Then raise left side bonnet. On the top of the bulkhead next to the Rover
Vehicle plate there should be a large cover plate approx 4" x 6" held in by 4 x screws. Remove this cover plate,
The clock is held in place by a U shaped bridge piece, which clamps to the back of the clock with a knurled
thumb screw. Loosen the screw with your finger/thumb. Remove the bridge piece, then the clock will come
forward out of the dash. Disconnect the power cable and tape it off (so you can identify the wire again).
Replace clock to dash in reverse order. If there is a fibreboard covering around the back of the dash (under the
cover plate) covering the wires and backs of the dials, then you will need to carefully cut into it to gain full
access to back of dials/clock. Hope this helps, I've got large hands and I can get to the back of the dash this route.
Hi Chris, This is brilliant, My hands are just old and arthritic so I hope those thumb screws are not too tight. Mike
