Ford 6000Cd Wont Keep Time..keeps Resetting

[chuzzwuzzer]

Hi.Recently bought a Focus Zetec Climate 2007.It has the stock ford 6000cd stereo.problem is everytime you set the time on the clock and save it the minute you turn the engine off and restart the car the clock resets itself back to 16.00 . Strange thing is that it remembers all the station presets but wont keep the time. Is this knackered or can it be reset somehow ?

After many attempts I found the method in the madness.

The key must be in and turned as far as it will go without starting the engine.

Hold down the menu button, scroll to 'set time'

Set hour, minutes, date, scroll all the way to the end then press menu for changes to be saved.

Now when you start the engine the clock setting should remain as you set them.

Greatman!  I spent hours ( in total..) on this up and down with the Ford mechanics and other experts 

to say nothing of my own deductive powers...I'm sure I'd have got there in an hour or two!!

Whatever happened to car manuals that explain exactly what to do especially for your own product..
