Is that a DAB hanger or standard FM?Here's the answer.

Radio reception has lots to do with the aerial fitted and it's connection to the vehicle. The inner section of the coax needs to connect securely to the centre of the radio socket. The coax outer braid should be connected to the chassis of the radio and a cleaned area of roof by the aerial. This is because the car mass causes what's known as a ground plane. A ground plane is only effective if the grounding is sound. I believe that a sun roof near the aerial reduces the aerials effectiveness due to the slightly reduced ground plane in the aerial footprint. But correct grounding is an important part of radio reception.
:whoosh:so you have 74,000 posts and you let the VCU wreck youe IRD. how so??????
I have £600 you can have for it.
But your right, I really cannot understand why Land Rover made so many parts out of cheese.
so seriously, how has this happened???
All the posts tell us the VCU fails slowly. was this a sudden failure???
Yes well, I'm somewhat p...d today. Yesterday some jerk was driving along my street and splatted my FL with black paint! It's all over the rear, driver's side, bonnet, wheels, even the windows! Not just mine though but all the cars parked on my side. I hope you can see the splattering in the photos I've taken. Now need to see the police / report and contact the insurance. Wonder if I can get a repaint??
Eeeerrrr, if your still referring to the @The Mad Hat Man post, it's a pi55 take. He does that, quite renowned for it. Go and have a pint, you'll get used to him. MikeSo not bein horrible here, did you do the VCU check or ignore it.
I just bought my hippo and knew on the drive home that the VCU was shot, based on what I read on here.
Jacked up the rear wheel and could not move the wheel albeit with a 600mm bar, so replaced the VCU.
Sometimes the more knowledge we have the more complacent we get, till it bites us.
