Hi - I have a Y reg Fiat Seicento Sporting (red) which is a great car and has taken me all around the country and even over to France.
When I bought it, it came with a Sony radio/CD which worked fine. Then it gradually started to have problems tuning in to radio stations. Now it can't find any radio stations at all.
I was advised to have a look at where the aerial is attached to the top of the car, but I can't see any problems. I've taken the stereo out and checked all the connections and it seems fine. My usual mechanic has had a look at it and said that the cable that runs down the side of the windscreen has broken and he needs to replace the whole aerial and cable. I was happy with this but he hasn't been able to get the part from Fiat.
My local Fiat dealership in Liverpool want nearly £80 just to look at the car and won't even tell me how much they will charge for parts or labour to fix the problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how this could be fixed? Or should I just sign a blank cheque to the Fiat dealership and be done with it? I've looked for a Haynes manual for a Seicento but can't find one anywhere.
Any ideas/help would be hugely appreciated!
thanks,
Matt
