You just need to take Jim's V6, then you will have all the spares you needtim leech wrote:cheers chaps, I will change the radio mast, base and check the connection under the seat.
I could retrofit a modern unit but I like the factory look and tbh its a good piece of kit which my ipod connects straight into.
I don't think that the antenna cable goes near the seat, IIRC, it just runs from the pillar around the footwell, also I don't think those radios work so well if you replace the antenna base with one lacking the preamplifier.
And as I said before, a poor signal will not cause the radio to change station, so I think you are wasting your time with the antenna.
I can't remember whether the radio will still run if you unplug the connector at the back of the radio which carries the steering wheel controls, if so, that would be a useful test.
