I've heard that from others too but mine have always been perfect -
hence on my list.

Over the years more and more have snuck in. Sometimes mine sounds like
it's falling apart!!

Are you sure? If you had a dodgy connector, just blasting the volume
wouldn't fix IME. I'd be suspecting a fault in the radio. I would say
that though because I'll shortly (well, when/if I can find the
instructions) have an MP3 ripping Clarion single CD radio for sale
that is coming out of my 156 including what passes for fitting panels
to fit it to a 156.

Can't help there. Although I suspect my baffles are all blown as the
car sounds particularly rorty these days, there's no sign of a
replacement being needed.
