This wasn't the one that just started to work when you jumped the car, was it? Could be it's already got one of the other failure modes. Remove the back cover and just spray a bit of WD40 on the works - not enough to get anywhere urther - just enough to revitalise the lubricant. Power up and rock the clock axially (about the axis of the hand drive-shaft) to try and free up the pendulum bearing and see if anything happens. I think that's pretty much all that can be done for them, other than pull apart and modify with a quartz movement (see pdf at http://www.vwtype3and4club.org.uk/_docs/type3/T3clockmod.pdf ). I was very gratified recently to hear someone else on the list had just got a couple working doing that. If nothing else, at least the clock will be right twice a day - something the older version can't manage if working. ;-) Dave.
