Radio Interference
Hi, I am new to the forum and hope that someone can help. I have a 2001 Focus with a standard stereo, a problem has recently started, when I first start the car the radio is fine but after about 5 minutes the reception just dies and I get massive intereference to the point that I can’t listen to it. Can anyone offer any advice as to what has caused this to happen and how I can fix it?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Is the aerial through the rear window(de mister), if so and I suspect it is, it sounds as though the aerial amp has packed up, will be located somewhere in tailgate probably.
I will ask matey in morning, as he breaks these.

I get the same on my frs mate
Try undoing the arial off the roof and clean the threads with a small wire brush and do what you can with the threads inside the base on the roof, this sorted my radio proplems.
Add a rubber o-ring in between the base and the arial so water does'nt seep in

Hi Juddzey455,
Thanks but I did try that already but not with much luck, also the issue is that the reception is fine for about 5 minutes or so and then goes bad, its really weird.

I think that the most likely thing now, as aerial is out is the actual radio itself.
They can be repaired however, I know someone who does these as well as pretty much any make, he's the main uk repair centre for Kenwood as well as a few others, also sells B graded stuff with new gaurantee.
I bought a as new b graded warranty return CD multi changer, with 12 months warranty, as it had 1 tray missing from the boxed changer, he gave me a spare tray which simply pushes in, was well under half the price of everyone else.
