[Offgrid]

I've had to puut this on the back burner for the moment. Apart from all the other things going on inmy life, I've got a problem with the battery, the towing electric connector needs replacing, and the engine is idling too fast. I think severa of the problems may be the result of bad earthing. After all the vehicle may be in good condition, but it is 34 years old.

One thing that may give credence to your theory that it is not the original radio is the presence of a couple of small microphones on either side of the windscreen. There is also a plastic clip that looks as if it may have contained a mobile phone. The original owner may have changed the radio to allow him to use the speakers with his phone. I've got a big box of invoices, and maybe I should go through that to see if there is a bill for a replacement radio

I will pull the radio out, but first I need to find a wire coat hanger. Given that the sock is the larval form of the coat hanger, I can't believe that I can't find one.
