Thanks for that mate

Fortunately a genius mate pointed me in the direction of those tongs, so I've had the last week with a nice new Kenwood slot loading CD player, and managed to replace the ariel!

Replaced the speakers with some £25 Pioneers in the front, and hopefully some larger and better in the back once I get some cash together.

I should point out the reason I have had to do this is that my cigarette lighter socket in the car has died (plugging anything in causes the "door open" lamp to light on the dash and no power to the thing plugged in....). My old MP3 player > tape deck would not work without this power (dodgy battery), so it was either replace my car mp3 player with a new one (ipod or whatever £200+), or new head unit and speakers for £150 ish.... no competition!
