Technical CD Player...Err...Playing Up

[rriggs]

The CD player in my car has started not playing CDs in the last couple of weeks. It crackles a bit and then gives up. It won't play audio CDs or read the SatNav CD. It does work OK sometimes but not most of the time.

Anyone else had this problem? I've asked my dealer and he's gone away to think about it(?). Does it just need cleaning? If it does, how would you go about this?

Any help appreciated!

Have noticed that seems be a problem mostly when the car/outside temp is low (eg Less than 10C). Could this be part of the problem? Could condensation be getting in or something?

The whole unit is in a sealed case behind the engine you could have a problem with temperature if you leave you car in the sun and you go for a ride and the engine gets hot
