Clock resets every time I switch off the engine

I’m having some problems with my Renault Scenic (2003). When I start the car the clock and the mileage reading resets back to zero. I’ve tried setting the clock and the mileage and other readings, but it always resets when I switch off the engine. Any ideas?

Common fault with the 2003 Scenic dash. Needs replacing. Earlier this year Renault was still subsidising the replacements, leaving owners with a £150 - £200 bill.

Far better than the previous model. The Grand model seats seven. Practical and versatile. Excellent crash test rating.
