There are so many possibilities that it would be almost impossible to diagnose this without being hands on.

I would suggest removing the radio and checking all connections. With radio out, radio feeds could be tested with a test light or multimeter or similar.

Did you get your heater resistor out?

There are several wires behind the radio. I believe you have had an aftermarket radio fitted, so wiring may be nonstandard. There may be a fuse in the back of the radio itself. There are 2 vehicle fuses that could affect the radio. 1 is in the fusebox under the steering column, the other is in the fusebox under the bonnet.

Hi Barry, probably just a bit of light corrosion around the fuse or the holder. You taking it out and putting it back has cleared it. I've had that sort of thing myself and it can be very misleading. You look at the fuse in the holder and it looks ok, but take it out and put it back and problem solved. Hope you are keeping ok. Regards, Colin

Sounds like we have very similar music tastes Barry, and you are just a couple of years older than me. I present a hospital radio show and I often play both Gary Moore and Eva Cassidy along with loads of other 60s and 70s music. Before tomorrow night's show I will be checking the station's record library to see if they have Sierra in there. If not I'll have to upload it, as it's all on computer these days. Best regards, the other Colin.
