you havnt changed the antenna have you ?

when I tried a short one off ebay, initially it worked fine...but then over the next few months travel in less than ideal reception areas, it became quite apparent that the older longer antenna did have some benefits smile

This is a common failure. Happened on my V8V, luckily while still under warranty.

Very high pitched Italian scream, had them on my Maserati. Works of art and despite the Italian sounding name, they're from Devon. Like me smile

No you've got me on the Larini website. What with that and some Carbon Edition alloys. Hmm as you would say
