Clock running an hour fast even after changing the time in setup. Very annoying! 2016 (66) 2.2 EX manual AWD.

No matter how many times I change the clock time in settings, it self adjusts and alters to an hour ahead for UK time. I have reset the clock numerous times but it reverts to an hour fast. Keeps time no issues.
