clock work

As with all 944's, the quartz clock was broken. Apparently, the LCD displays which Porsche used were not designed to be used in temperatures below 0°C!
 

The displays were "bleeding out" - no visibility of the time any more!
Fortunately, there is a repair set available to fix this. You can order it here:
