Ok I am familure with electronics breaking down as they get hot but my radio/cd has me stuffed. The right hand (drivers door) speaker does not work when the weather is cold. On a warm day all is fine. On a cool day, as the day gets warmer the speaker will start to work. It just fades in to operation, not a scratchy dry joint type of thing. Once it is on it will stay on for the rest of the day. If the following morning is cool, it wont go but if the following morning is warm its OK. I figured it must be the speaker so I took the door panels off and - the bloody thing started working, so I wriggled a few wires and put it back together. It lasted two days then the same thing. This time I attacked the dash and as soon as I took off the surround it came good. Wriggled wires and harness, put it back together and got two days out of it again. Spoke to the local radio repair shop and they just said that Patrols have bad radios and I should just put a new head in it. So... I just want a radio/cd player that works, not super sound or multuple connectivity, and somthing that will stand up to off road bouncing. Should I change the speakers, change the radio/head, change the lot and if so what should I put in? I have read about Alpines, Pioneer and some ebay heads, but does anyone have any ideas, as I don't need hi quality or functionality, just robust and reliable, and reasonably priced. Or better still, anyone heard of a radio that goes off when cold and how do you fix it? Thanks and cheers Tony.
