could someone tell me if the yellow arrow is supposed to point to the pin on a 99 jaguar xk8

 

Wow, congrats on the most cryptic message on the forum.
The yellow arrow points towards happy hour. Story but I couldn't stop myself.

 

Yellow arrow? Pin? Clock? Spring? Am I missing something, here? Reminds me of a physics exam, many moons ago. Never mind the answer, couldn't begin to understand the question.

 

Howdy Folks:
My decipher, how about this:
Clock=Speedometer
Spring=before electronic speedometers, was used to adjust magnetic ones
Yellow Arrow=speedometer needle when illuminated
Pin=Needle rest pin at zero mph/kph

To answer the question:
Yes, my speedometer needle rest on the the pin at 0 mph which visually extrapolates to 6~7mph on the dial. (I assume that it is inaccurate below 10 mph as many cars are)
Is my thinking on the right track?

 

Or clock spring may mean the thing that connects the moving steering wheel electrics to the rest of the car, aka cassette.

 

Clock might be your face. If so, the spring could be either your nose or a bottle of refreshing water you are drinking. Pins is slang for feet, in which case, perhaps, your (ahem) arrow might be pointing at it. If the arrow is yellow, now might be the time to visit your doctor. I'm pretty sure my explanation is the definitive one.

 

I assumed this was about the air bag part.

 

What air bag part?

 

You guys crack me up...

Does this help:

 

OK, so we have the yellow arrow, but the mystery remains. What about the clock, the pin and the spring? WE NEED TO KNOW!

This reminds me of a riddle: what has four legs, two tails, and squeeks?

 

Well, the clock spring, of course :-)

Part C2P20958 or some such...

 

Wow! Your knowledge is encyclopaedic! So: we have a yellow arrow which should, or should not, point to a pin and a clock-spring which actually exists! So what about that pin, then?

 

I'm amazed at the number of members who don't know what the clock spring is.

 

RJ. Please don't insult us. Ever hear of levity?

 

Michael you are the man. Knowledge trumps logical deduction. Please excuse my well meaning but incorrect deciphering.

 

Are we being used by the original poster? Can we hear back? Great line of conversation but where is it going?

 

So the car actually boasts a yellow arrow, a clock spring and a pin. I'm kind of disappointed, in a way.

 

Like sand in an hour glass, these are the days of our lives.

 

Dr. D,
I was laughing at the banter, not at anyone's knowledge. We all start knowing the same amount, which is why I love this forum, so my apologies in return to anyone if the message didn't come across as I intended.

I found the pic. on Ebay in the hope it would help the OP:- but what I thought was a pin is probably the end of The ClipThat Must Be Present.

I guess 'clock spring' and the opportunity for a wind-up was just too tempting, LOL
