    My wife's V70 is having trouble with the clock in the speedo cluster.
    if the car is off for a period of more than a few hoursa the clock
    resets to 1200. if it is shut off for shorter time, the clock keeps
    consistant though incorrect time.
    any thouts on what can be going on?

    thanks for your help.

  2. Obvious answer first.. have you spoken to your Volvo dealer? They can check
    that the latest sw is downloaded to the relevant dash module.

    My trip reset once or twice and when I mentioned it to my dealer they said
    there was a known issue whereby the trip reset to zero after 621 miles (1000
    km). I would guess that it was actually counting 0-999 in km, but
    converting to miles for the display, hence the premature rollover to zero.
    They are downloading the software update when it goes in for a service next
    week and will check if there are any other updates required for other
    components.
