These meters can adjust the time up or down 3 minutes to allow for time gains/losses but does anyone know how often?

I'm assuming you obviously can do it too often to stop the unscrupulous possibly putting it forward too much to gain on night tarriffs and what have you.

Anyway, mines 10 minutes out, how long will it take me to put it right? :lol:

Anybody know?

I think the book says you can adjust 3 mins every 40 days or so. :?

Do your first adjustment then try again a few days later. I doubt it would lock you out, merely that it won't allow you to change it if you try too early.

You can do 3 minutes a month on them mate without having to go to the Agent.
