TM clock - Trafficmaster clock, warns about congestion on routes fitted with trafficmaster sensors

I think there is a brushed alloy surround for the dials, will more likely be listed as a civic part i think

TF Mirror we usually fit because the ZS is kinda dark inside and it's handy having the wee map reading lights

TF/F wheel is smaller in diameter and has the thumb grips, generally feels a lot better to hold and steer car with

Does need some slight modding to fit, trim bottom of airbag.fit an adaptor to rear of the wheel. You can fit a TF airbag and trim the rear off your original wheel and use that as the adaptor

Thank you!

This traffic master clock sounds good. Are they easy to fit? Do you just pick them up off ebay?

They aint the most high tech piece of kit, but they look better than the normal clock and the info can be handy in my experience

Pretty easy to fit, just have to remove centre console, unscrew auld clock, plug in TM clock and refit centre console

Think there is a guide somewhere for removing centre console. An ebay is normally the best place to pick em up, just make sure all the segments light up as they are prone to losing them

Looks good & sounds like a nice easy job although I've just looked on ebay & the only one I can find is ending in a day or so & already has 16 bids & is up to £36! May have to save this mod for when I have a bit more spare cash.

Footwell lights look very nice! Definitely added to my list!

Thanks hun!

I had a TM clock, I didn't find the information flow very good, in over 800 miles, much motorway I only had 1 warning despite many delays and that was for the other motorway that I was driving over.

It does look a bit better than the standard one.

Ah ok thanks for your honest opinion.

I think it will be one of those things where if I have a bit of spare cash and see one at a good price I'll pick it up but if not then c'est la vie.

Can anyone tell me if the MK2 foglights are different to the mk1 ones? Does anyone have the part no.

Not sure if the lamps are different but the brackets are, they are NLA as well so finding them cant be very tricky. you can make the mk1 lamps fit with cable ties of fiberglass if your abit handy

i had a TM clock in one of the rover 400's that i was lent while i stil got my car serviced by MGR...

needless to say that it failed to inform me of the fact they shut the m4 one day, as such i never bothered fitting it to the zs... i think they may have upgraded the information they send out since then, but even so i cba to fit it.
