I've got an old ('95) Kia pride, and the clock keeps losing 'chunks' of time.
It's fine while it's being used, but park it up for a few days, and the clock's probably 'lost' a couple of hours.
I'm wondering if it's a low voltage problem. It always starts fine, no slow churning on the starter.
I've also noticed the fuel level gauge reads substantially lower for the first few minutes of each journey, again leading me to suspect low voltage.
I keep meaning to put a voltmeter across the battery, but it's one of those things I need to do after the car hasn't been used for a few days, just before I go out in it, and it gets forgotten about until I look at the clock and think damn!
It's not a great problem, just one of those extremely irritating little things.
