Hello all just thought i would share a wee pimp i discovered on a recent trip to Ikea. This clock fits perfectly in the blank above my radio, runs off its own battery and required a simple push to illuminate. Not bad for 8 quid. Come in black or white.

No .. I used those £1 coins towards a BMW analogue Cubby hole clock .. with a LED that automatically flashes with the ignition off .. and goes off when the ignition is on ..

Don't wish to hijack this thread but can someone tell me what the circular switch with the red dot is for. I'm sure the guy I bought off told me but for the life of me I can't remember.

Don't be cheeky ....
I cleaned the Bongo last June ready for the MOT ..!!
My daughter 'was not amused' at the state of my Toyota (which I have had for eight years) she paid a mobile valeter to come and give her a tidy up .
These are pics; before ..

Heres my BMW clock witha £3 Ebay voltmeter
I added a small switch next to the volt meter so it can be turned on and off when required cost £1 from Ebay, the meter is very accurate as we calibrated it in work and found it was accurate to 0.02 of a volt!
