Have fitted the replacement timekeeper chip. Like the previous info centre module I've mounted the new IC on a holder, this will make replacement easier if ever the device needs replacement again.
Today, the unit was delivered to the Aston Garage. We'll learn in a few days time if the unit proves to be serviceable.
What really is required is a replacement module. The info centre performs the following functions: the odometer and trip reading. Average speed and ETA. The time and date. Fuel used, instant consumption and average consumption.
Well I'm sure the clock can be replaced by a conventional analogue one. Likewise the fuel gauge.
The odometer and trip can be incorporated in speedometer. In fact the later versions of the Virage are made this way and the dashboard looks all the better for it.
Check out the attachments. The info centre module was replaced by traditional circular instruments in 1995.
