Hi, Despite a large electric ariel on the O/S wing and the radio being a (I would have thought) good VDO unit, the reception on my wifes Sedonna is rubbish to say the least. Is this common? and if so is there a known cure other than replacing everything?
Thanks

Sounds as though the electric arial is not grounded correctly. Some have a ground wire on them this can snap over time.Might be worth having a look

Just to update on this. Finally got around to looking at this, and found the earth wire to the base of the electric ariel. Removed/cleaned up the earth refitted and is now much better thanks
