Hi Peeps,

Since my beloved Landrover was stolen :mad::mad::mad:,

We bought a old (1997) Mondeo hatchback. Runs well and all,

but the 7000 radio / cassette :eek: works when it feels like it,

the display is sometimes off but the radio is still on.:huh:

Any ideas or should I drop kick it.

    Mine did this over 10 years ago, I just lived with it, I am sure somebody said it was a common issue, but it was only a company car so I didn't bother, a few years later I bought a MK2 Mondeo for private use and it did the same thing so I replaced the stereo with a decentish one in the annual Halfords sale.

    It'll be a loose connection of some description, either a wire/cable/connector or a dry solder joint inside the unit.
