  • Vauxhall Combo van 05 plate - Electrical issues 7 Apr 2023 (Forum)
    Hi all, Recently sent our Combo dash cluster off for reconditioning as the mileage reading was intermittently failing, so LED screen circuit on the blink.  Installed repaired cluster last week and initially all OK.  A couple of days later, noticed that the centre console/radio

  • Renault Espace (1997 - 2002) - 00 - electronic dash issues 19 Oct 2008 (Forum)
    Hi all Bought a 2000(V) Espace in December with the known fault that when trying to use the radio, the digital dash would flash on and off. Didn't bother me that much - it was a useful negotiating point, and we're usually forced to listen to the kids' CDs in the car anyway ... Lately it's been
  • Peugeot 405 Battery Drain....or not ? 20 Feb 2006 (Forum)
    is a problem - we pulled out all the fuses, and checked cooling fan relays but it wasn't there. S I disconnected the battery for two days to remove the drain, and of course the car started up Then, another guy told me that half an amp is normal, as the clock and radio memory use that much when the car
  • Does your RDS TA radio annoy you? 5 Dec 2005 (Forum)
    . Last week this cost me an hour waiting in an accident (5 car nose to tail shunt - noone hurt fortunately). My point is that I could have avoided this if I'd known. As soon as I tune back into FM - it tells me to avoid the area. Also whilst I'm having a rant - how about displaying the radio station
  • Imports a tale of caution 31 Dec 2002 (Forum)
    Hi, I ordered a Merc E class from Motorpoint of Derby. I have bought a few cars from them in the past and they are a good company to deal with but watch out for the warranties. When I arrived to collect the car they had lost the radio code. They took to a local audio 'specialist' who removed
  • Hyundai ix35 - Please help! Hyundai whining 21 Jan 2016 (Forum)
    Just driven my 2010 ix35 Premium 2.0 tdci with media unit. The radio suddenly died after giving a beep. There followed a loud whine like the old TV testcard  which hasn't stopped, even with the radio and engine off. It's currently in a city centre multi-storey car park and people
  • Vauxhall CDR500 CD player problem 18 Sep 2012 (Forum)
    . I have another vauxhall with the same unit and have established that the removeable front panel on the radio is actually coded to the radio unit itself. All this means that my CDR500 was supplied with the front panel from another unit !!. Can anyone tell me if this system can be re-coded

  • Mazda MX5 Mk2 1999 - Draining Battery 1 Jul 2011 (Forum)
    Our MX5 fails to start after a couple of days if it hasn't been driven. It appears as if something is draining the battery. We did have a faulty radio that would sometimes not switch off and I disconnected the radio hoping this was the problem but the problem still exists. I have tried
  • Vauxhall Corsa C - Stereo issues 29 May 2011 (Forum)
    Hi, I have a problem with my Corsa that I recently bought second hand. It has had a non-manufacturers radio installed and from taking it out it looks like quite a poor job has been done of installing it. The main problem is that the radio will not turn on or off with the ignition

    I own a 54 plate C5 VTR Hdi Saloon.

  • burning wire - ford fiesta (1996) 23 Sep 2005 (Forum)
    Hello, The fan in my p reg ford fiesta was stuck blowing out at level four even when it was switched off. I took the radio out to look at the wires and when I moved them (very slightly) a tiny flame appeared and I blew it out straight away. I then replaced the radio and everything seems to work
  • What had I become? 9 Apr 2003 (Forum)
    I was travelling down the motorway today, with the intention of looking at a possible new motor. I was sat at 80, thinking that despite the interior rattles, my Passat wasn't so bad after all. It was quiet and pretty comfertable. To my horror I realised I was also listening to Radio 2. I had become
