Anybody got any ideas why FM reception is so poor? It works but often loses the station to lock on an even worse one. Even in city centres! Other stations work okay. There are no fuses popped - is it a failing amp or poor connection to aerial which I assume are the rear windows ( look like a heated rear window).

Antenna amp failing is quite common

Thanks - do you know whereabouts it’s located? Right hand side in boot or somewhere hidden away?

I know it will be in the back, I don’t know it’s location in a S204 though. There may be a thread on the forum so worth a search

I think it's in the top of the tailgate hidden behind the "tailgate lining", whatever that is properly called, but have no idea how to get at it! That's hwere it's hidden in an S203, I gave my brand new spare S203 antenna amp to AMF (Alex Foti) a while ago!
