Well done, that sounds very promising. A good reward for all your efforts! Deserves a celebratory Friday job fixed beer !

Hi, can you get a nice young set of ears to listen for the clicks? Sounds as though no power getting to the sensors as its unlikely all 4 have failed. Sorry but that's the limit of my knowledge. Hope you can get it sorted.

Hi you can just about hear them if you put your ear close enough with car in reverse. Good luck

Hi just listening to the sensors in turn to detect which one isn't clicking :)

Hi this is literally exactly the same problem that I am having right now. My post is above yours on the forum. Hopefully we can share any solution. Best wishes Nick

Hi, OK a further update. Reception is affected when driving as the ariel is being buffeted and moves so I get rubbish reception. If I hold ariel through sunroof it's ok so. I know it's the ariel base as the female screw thread has a crack. I think the MW reception is actually AM reception...

Hi, just by way of an update I took the ariel off and found I had no MW reception. By wiggling ariel I got improved reception. This prompted me to put a replacement antenna, (old one) and cleaned metal parts and greased it and hey presto I now have 90 percent perfect reception. It's so...

Hi thanks for the speedy reply and saving time and money on pointless repair. I use MW for radio 5 and talk sport mainly for news and sport so I do really miss it. I suppose its time for a new head unit upgrade but I am fearful of making a mess of it and ending up no better off after spending...

Hi I have very poor radio reception on Medium wave. Fm is good. There appears to be a crack in the thread of the ariel roof base unit. Is this likely to be the culprit? I'm loathe to splash out 30 quid (gps version as I have hse) and replace it only to find the problem remains. Thanks for any...

That's very handy thank you Sir!

Hi I'm in exactly the same situation as the original poster. I would love to get an android double DD head unit but don't feel confident in the wiring harnesses or adapter frames. Is it really as simple as it sounds? I will be watching the thread with great interest :)

Hi, I got brave! Ten minutes later all sorted. I had to cut or trim the one way tabs off the bezel surround with Stanley knife enough to get the bezel with the sensor into the bumber and at same time leave enough to keep it in place but that was simple enough. Thanks for giving me the...

Hi yes, extremely helpful. Thanks for the tips I feel a bit more confident now. Thank :)

Hi well done, good job! I still haven't been brave enough :( Don't want to take bumber off as all bolts are rusted up so 15 min job will end up taking whole day. Any tips with the drill? Thanks

Is it possible to flush the heater matrix? I used to have a puegeot 405 did this periodicall. It was possible to disconnect the two pipes going through bulk head then flush each way with garden hosepipe until all the crud ran out clear.

Hi, thank you for posting this thread. Please do you have a link to the unit? Also does your vehicle have the harman kardon with amplifier as I am contemplating going down this route. May I ask how long it took to swap out the units. Many thanks for your advice Nick

Hi can you give details of the head unit and the loom adaptor you used as I would love to do the same. Does the steering wheel audio and skip function still work? Many thanks Nick Ps agree about off shelf speakers... I got ones without built in tweeters as already have them separate. Jvc 20...

Hi managed to get links to work by using item numbers thank you.

My personal experience was after my wife misfuelled and drove monde tdci for a week. It was stuttering and misfiring but she just drove it harder and harder to get over that.... Poor car. Anyway I drained it and refuelled and it ran OK then developed a slight stutter. Eventually ended up getting...

Hi how did you get on? Need to replace one myself but I fear taking bumper off will just lead to more problems
