Hi Jon, I would say the radio is busted and not the car. Its often not worth the time to repair the standard head units and a suitable adaptor or bit of wire swapping (4 and 7 on the power iso plug) and a new head unit is often the way forward.

But if you have steering wheel controls for the radio, the cost rises for extra interfaces

Further update on Radio if someone mayb now can direct me the origional problem is still the same as above in out on Mgz frequency wont hold stations of & on need to re power again n again but all is ok working perfectly on Khz Frequency coming on when car is switched on holding playing stations playing constantly holding stations can chance all stations from steering etc so is it an Aerial issue as one frequency being perfect while all FM out n in off and on.

Yes.

The aerial is for FM.

If you have a poor aerial connection or (if your car has one) the aerial amplifier power connection disconnected you will get poor FM but AM will be unaffected.

Thank for reply it sounds Aerial Problem as AM is working Ace but FM cutting our wont connect when car just switched on only occassionly connects when car us started but disconnects again almost immediately still showing onscreen Frequency but no connection all ok FM wise when parked with engine running Thanks again
