As close as Sean's radio but not that

Another clue...

Nowadays, in one form or another I'm standard equipment on most cars, trucks, vans and I'm quite important on boats.

Without me, you might find silence is not golden but tedious.

The enthusiasts over the years, are never satisfied with leaving me be, currently the trend is fishy

On service vehicles I multiply and with the princess I get soapy

I was once vital to watercraft, I still am to servicemen on the front line in battle and policemen and coastguards in their duties too

When filigree and fancifulness is not for you in correspondence, I'm not Greek, nor universal but my father is new and grotesque

What am I?

Another close guess, but not the actual thing

Another clue or two...

Mostly I'm outside the vehicle, latterly on the roof, previously on a wing, but sometimes I'm inside,

Without me you'd be poorly received

What am I?

Well done Ghana. Glow plugs is the correct answer. It was only a matter of time before Jeebo cracked it.

Although I was born in 1921, I was not regularly fitted to cars until the late 60's.

Many drivers don't know how to use me properly and I can cause the thing I'm designed to prevent.

What am I?

You're thinking along the right lines, but neither airbags nor seatbelts are correct .

Nope, but still in overall right area though

A further clue.

Fetishists derive great pleasure from my name and what I mitigate against
