My radio has blown its fuse, i need to borrow if poss a the radio release forks and an allen key that will fit the grub screws so i can pop the radio out and replace the 10a fuse in the back of the radio

would help a lot as i have a long drive home to plymouth on friday and the sound of near silence is very gloomy after a while.....

I'm around in the eve and would be happy to pop out to someone's if they can help

Nottingham!!   That's the Omega capital of the UK !!

Halfrauds do the radio release forks, around £2.99, they also do sets of allen keys with one small enough for the grub screws

Don't worry - it won't be near silence.

You will hear all those noises you never noticed before ...

Where abouts in Nottingham are you....?

I have released radios before now using 4 terminal screwdrivers or 4 small drill bits pushed into the holes.  It's a bit more tricky bending all of them inwards at once but not impossible.

someone is going to be left a shoe box full of choped up coathangers and radio keys  

[Jay w]
