You can get a vdo insert (2 years ago it was only $60) and fit it behind the original face
if the PCB is not burned there is a place in south sydney (yellow pages) and he can fix almost anything and he is cheap. He is the one that gets the VDO inserts for you
Or there is a guy in Queensland (again 2 years ago) I git his name from Road and Race (restores Ducati's) email him for the details.

Cant wait to see some pics , as for your clock, must be a common problem as my VK Berlina clock was also dodgey when i got it. But mine was just sticky from sitting around for most of its life with no battery connected so a bit of WD-40 then a tiny touch of grease and its been fine since.
