Not sure if the clocks are powering up when the ignition is turned on  as there is no service indicator or mfa indication?

you need to modify the wiring to run them. also what are you doing about the speedo?

Moved the wires about, its now worse  still get the mileage and the time, when I turn the ignition on the milage flashes with no warning lights 
 Did the clocks differ on mk3? got 160mph ones of ebay
