Any advice on stereo upgrades? speakers and reception are awful currently using an aftermarket Sony item after original failed.
Also suffering with tracing water blockages, can constantly hear water sloshing, hard to detect where exactly. Have read the roof mounted aerial could be a possibility. Thanks for any reply.

Have you checked the tool well under the boot carpet? The 3rd tail-light is notorious for broken seals - the tailgate flexes when closing etc and breaks the seal. This leads to water ingress into the boot which collects in the tool well.

Easily rectified by removing the 3rd taillight and either carefully reattaching (might just need tightening) or resealing with silicone or new foam strip or buying a new one (they are fairly cheap, 20 quid or so I seem to recall).
