Default '04 XC70 Dashboard mileage data issue

268,000 miles on odometer of my '04 XC70
bottom left dashboard data does not show most of the time. Occassionally comes back on for a few minutes (i quickly check my mpg data) before disappearing again. Loose connection somewhere? Has been like this for 8 months now. Also, just recently my digital clock is now rapidly changing the time backwards. It sometimes pauses but then goes back to time travel mode. And comments welcome.

Those are common symptoms of a bad DIM. (instrument cluster) A company such as xemodex can fix that. (for more money you can add chrome rings or change your gauges to blue!)

And there are threads where DIYers fix or attempt to fix it themselves.

Thanks for addressing my issue. Hopefully no other 'symptoms ' arise. Cost and downtime to fix those 2 issues as it's my only car and it has 267K+ miles on it. Was hoping for a more simple and less costly remedy.
