std dip stereo/CD changer really pants reception

[doz]

The radio reception from my standard Grundig stereo is practically non-existent. My dip is one of the ones with a aerial built into the rear window. Is there a booster for the antenna some where which could be kaput or these units just total poo for the radio? shame really the CD changer and cassette work well

The ariel booster is a real pain to get at. Rear seat out and then it's under the rear parcel shelf.
I don't think there's much you can do with them really, other than replace.
I think I'd have a bash at fitting a normal ariel.

It's a common problem on the Grundig units, the FM reception gets weaker over time.

If you PM Will Reeve on the ABS forum i think he knows how to fix them!

To be honest I haven't give it a second thought. I've been busy with the LC but I am going to put the 2.6 up for sale after xmas so I'll will fix it before it goes
