In Topic: Car Radio Aux Input

Maybe, i may have to get the garage to look at it, thank u anyway

 

If you want a cheaper option, you could try getting some radio removal keys from eBay. They're probably only a fiver or less, and they're always good to have anyway. Take the radio out (make sure you know the radio code!) and have a look at the aux cable, to see if it's still in place and in good condition. A garage may charge a lot and not even solve the problem.

 

Does it switch to CD etc, because if not and it's stuck on FM radio, then the FM/AM button may be stuck on, as if it's always being pressed, in which case some compressed air blown onto the button may be able to loosen it up.

 

Hope this helps, and you get your problem sorted! :).

Hmm, in that case, no idea, sorry. The only thing I can think of is maybe the Aux cable is damaged/come out of the back of the head unit? No idea if that is possible or even if that would cause the symptoms you described, but I genuinely don't know what else it could be.

Is there any sound whatsoever (e.g radio?) Or is there just silence? Have you turned the volume right up? Does the radio say "Aux" or anything? Does the radio work as normal with regards to radio, CDs etc?

You can do them yourself, its a fairly easy fix. It's just Ford recently upped the price when they realised that this was the fix. Old price was about a fiver for both jets, now its nearer £20.

 

You'll need two of these:

Or if you don't have heated washer jets you can save a bit of money and get the non-heated versions.


In Topic: You Vs Insurers? Who Won At Renewal Time?

I'm nearing the end of my first year of driving, after a few months here and there as a temporary driver, as my insurance was too much before now. Got my license at 17, and each year had two 3 month stints on my mum's car (making sure we told them I would be the main driver over this period, which I was assured would make it legal). Got my Focus a year ago, cost me (or rather, my parents! :P) £2250, and this year my girlfriend and I have both gone for Admirial Multi-car, hers is a 1.4 Honda Jazz (20 years old, 0 ncb) for £1100, mine was £670 for 9 months cover (but getting a whole year ncb). So, by being a year older and having 1 years ncb, despite moving to a higher risk area, my insurance will drop by a massive 1800 quid!

What a difference one years ncb makes!
