I had the not uncommon issue of no rf button key fob locking, poor radio reception, blown fuse number 8 in the boot.
parking somewhere less salubrious made me chuck in a replacement fuse, but not having a 7.5a and only a 10 to hand, i didnt think it would matter that much.
woo hoo, I thought, as the locks started working again, but the radio was still pants. Luckily i glanced into the rvm to see thick smoke coming out of the offside rear air vent in the luggage area! I ripped off the vent and yanked the cover off (not even knowing if this was possible, luckily it was) and found a small black box with smoking wires going to it. A quick yank, and undoing the frazzled ends stopped the smoke.
new aerial amp on order from rob at threepointedparts for a measly tenner. If anyone could help me by noting the wire colours and order it would help me fix this. Thanks.
