I have a non landy radio/cd in the disco 1 ( a cheap'n cheerfull bit of kit) but the radio reception is awful. The cd player is crystal clear but when the engine is running the radio sounds like your listening to it in a bag of crisps and it gets worse when your actually driving along.
This is the second radio I have tried in it, the first one that was in the vehicle when i got it had the same problem, so I've changed the aerial as well and fitted a window mounted antennae with a built in booster but its made no difference.
Its definately electrical interference as it gets worse when I operate the lecky windows but I cant figure out why it happening. the radio is plugged into the original socket which, as far as I can see, hasn't been modified or interfered with. None of the loom wires that feed the radio plug are damaged or chaffed, the aerial lead is new, I have cleaned all the electrical grounding points, and now I'm stuck for ideas.
I could fit an in line suppressor but I'd rather find the cause and cure it.
I have done a search for any threads on similar probs but could only find one to rewire around the original amp in a Jap spec disco which didn't help me.
Is there a suppressor somewhere on the disco that could have failed?
Its driving me nuts so any help would be great.
