Facelift or prefacelift? Facelift are double din, prefacelift are single din

DM,

You could try a local breakers for the bonnet handle.  I suspect they won't have the radio though.

You could also try a few of these

Why do you need an original stereo?

Cheers

wanted original stereo to make it look nice (a girly thing) plus have fitted my own but stering volumes and station change don't work. May be get some one to look at might it be an extra connection. Plus cannot get a radio station to stay put. It has an ariel i think in the back window but doesnt work.

thanks for all your help

You can get adaptor boxes to allow the steering wheel controls to drive certain stereos but they're a bit pricey. TBH if you're happy with the factory one it's no bad thing to put one back in. Makes the car look totally standard so no-one will think of trying to nick it! Put a post in the parts wanted section and someone will be along. It's worth making sure you get the unlock codes for them, however!

In addition, the ignition switched and permanent live feeds to the stereo are often the wrong way round on the car wiring loom and this may well be why your radio is losing the station memories. Have a look behind the stereo and see if there is an adaptor loom which allows you to swap the two feeds over.

You need to swap the igniton and permananet live feeds over on aftermarket radio kit.....they often have bullet connectors to support this.
