The Blaupunkt radio in the car has gone off yet again. It goes blank for days on end and then of a sudden works again for a couple of weeks and then goes again. Before I part with hard earned at Halfords is there something I can do to get it back on?

The only thing I suggest you may want to do is check the Iso connector blocks and plug- in fuse at rear of radio.However removal of the radio on these is not a 5 min job.It does not slide out from the front.Carefull removal of the gearshift trim, centre console panel and central air vent assy is reqd for access.hth

It will blow the internal fuse before it causes a fire ,prone to the iso connection coming loose.
