Majik 0 Posted August 17, 2005 I personally dont think so, the radio reception isnt great on the Corrado at the best of times. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dazzyvr6 0 Posted August 17, 2005 to be honest the bonnet is pretty much earthed anyway,if it wasnt very well earthed then why would the attatch an earth lead to it? now i bet your thinking is the bonnet earthed to the body or is the body earthed to the bonnet :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted August 20, 2005 Yeah i noticed that earth wire. Before i spotted it i wondered why the radio was so bad. Even if i was playing a CD there would be interferance which increased with the engine speed. SO if i get the wire reconnected do you think it would sort the interferance out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JBOB 0 Posted August 20, 2005 Ive looked on the new C today and that one is snapped also :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Majik 0 Posted August 20, 2005 no it doesnt help intereference, i've tried a new and made another wire for the other side still not much difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
