Time change last night

@Matt85 They may well be, but it would work only if your car is all Internet-linked. Otherwise the car clock is just a simple... clock.

@ArishMell I haven't changed my car clock in year's

@smileylovesgaming I don't know how they expect anyone to read the manual
that is just ridiculous.

@Matt85 well haft of the year the clock is right

@Matt85 Actually I am usually thorough about reading instruction-manuals, but although I have my car's Owner's Handbook I don't think it describes setting the clock!

I needed use it recently to trace and replace a fuse. The fuse-board is placed to be physically very awkward to see, inverted and up under the dashboard shelf; but worse, most of the symbols on the chart in the book are by no means self-explanatory, and no definitions are given.

I also tried to replace the "cabin air filter"... No clue in the Handbook on where it is. I removed one cover after another to reveal only electrical systems. The poor information available on the Internet was home-made videos by owners of all sorts of variants of my car except mine.

Oh - and search as I might, I don't think Haynes ever published a servicing-manual for it. Perhaps Renault refused to supply the information to Haynes, to protect their so-called "approved" garages.

.

I have used professional operating and service manuals, at work, for a variety of complex equipment, and even allowing for the intended readers having sufficient background knowledge, all were far better written than most of the "instructions" supplied with domestic equipment. Though you can teach yourself assorted languages from the latter!

@ArishMell there is a cabin air filter

@smileylovesgaming Oh yes, there is indeed. Only I have no idea where it is hidden.

It is replaced when I have the car serviced along with the MoT Test, but the garages are able to obtain more detailed information for a given model than most owners can find. It seems to be in a different place from variant to variant of ostensibly the same car.

I saw a big difference when it was first replaced: the demister actually de-misted!

@ArishMell Atleast you managed to work out a fuse was gone and fixed it. That is good work. They would probably charge you for diagnoses and replacement. It wouldn't surprise me if the garage would charge £40+ for that.

I don't know, I want to learn more about my car and but I have other stuff going on.

@Matt85 It was not technically ever so difficult, and I guessed I had simply, accidentally shorted the lamp contacts I was trying to repair, but it would have been easier still if the fuse-board was properly accessible and the diagram in the book was more helpful.

Actually replacing the fuses is easy. They simply plug into their contacts, and the unit even holds a little tool for extracting them.

£40 would likely to be quite cheap. All businesses have to cover their labour and other overheads, and for small work these very often exceed the simple cost of the replacement parts. I think I cost my employer - hence, indirectly, its customers - at least three times my pay.

@Matt85 I think the one in my truck is one of the easier ones to set. Push a button that looks like a clock then use up and down arrows to set the time and when the correct time is displayed press the clock button again. My little clock radio is the hardest with way too many buttons and too few indications. Funnily enough it is supposed to be self setting.
