The radio issues are now sorted. Following on from the 'why are things never easy?' posts, it seems I was right, it was never going to be an easy fix...
As radio reception was fine in Keighley (where the head unit was fitted) but not in Skipton (where we live), it made sense to go to a local specialist rather than back to Halfords. So it was a trip to Car Radio Skipton where the very helpful and informative staff went through a process of elimination to find the fault.
Head unit out, check for signal booster. Fine.
Change to a new booster, still no reception.
Put new aerial on new booster, reception.
The faulty part just had to be the wiring from aerial on roof to back of head unit - joy!
We left them to it. Two hours later and we're back, everything working perfectly. OEM aerial, booster and wiring (plus 30 minutes of labour) and VAT came to just short of £90. All of a sudden the bargain stereo has become not so much of a bargain!
