Hi Alistair The early cars, I'd assume including yours, have a printed aerial in the windscreen. Although yours has some late features, it probably doesn't have the electric aerial inside the "fake" air vent behind the left quarter glass. I experimented with a replacement amplified dash-mount flat aerial from Maplin and the reception was equally bad. The problem wasn't the aerial, it's the stereo. Cars with original Craig's and a proper aerial still have crap reception. My Kenwood gives excellent reception from my original windscreen-printed aerial. Suggest you think about a new stereo before worrying about the aerial :-) If you don't have the windscreen aerial, go buy a cheap dash-mount one (I stuck mine to the back of the glovebox - it's a fibreglass car after all :-) and the plug us a very simple jack style common to all stereos then and now.
