Why can i hear engine noise through the speakers?
I have an RST that i am saving but not ever bothered to get round to sorting,its been of the road for 5 years or so, today with the weather being nice, i decided to make a start,,
got it running nice now, and going to mot it in the week, but you can hear the engine throuh the stereo???
its got the standard for radio casset player in it,
also i want to change the stereo for something more modern,
what type of connector do i need so i can just plug in a new stereo?

I had this problem as well whenever I connect my 6x9s up to my amp and my RCA and power cables run down different routes completely. I was told it was my HU as I have a Pioneer and certain models have crap internal earthing apparently (guy who told me this runs his own ICE shop) so bought one of these inline suppressors but haven't fitted it yet think they attached between RCA cables and amp so hopefully this filters out the noise.
P.S. the alternator or amp or speakers or HU don't get damaged or anything do they with the noise there? Because I've since permanently disconnected my 6x9s because I thought something might go wrong but generally I play music loud enough to not hear the high pitched noise so is it OK if I connect them back up again?

Virtually all new headinits have ISO connectors, so you just need a Ford-to-ISO. Either Google Autoleads, or see what Halfords have got (their stuff is just rebadged Autoleads stuff)

They are very easy to burn out, oftem caused by disconnecting/reconecting power terminals to an amp without disconnecting the rca leads. This causes a power surge up the rca to the headunit, thus blowing the ground loop.
This can be repaired easy enough by any competent audio specialiast

I've never disconnected my power lead off the HU without turning the HU off first. But I do think as you said Pioneer are in a class of their own. I got my HU for £200 lucky enough over a year ago and it still retails for £270 in the UK!
