would i be right in saying the nuts that fix the cd changer to the bolts sticking up in the compartment are m6?? and should i use the large tuppenny washers.

[Andy B]

.....  tuppenny washers.

 .... and I thought inflation was going down! They used to be 'penny washers'        

[Richie London]

ive loads of washers but only tiny nuts. but enough of my problems. i'll have to walk round screwfix and get some

I'll have to pass on the size of your nuts!  
Across the flats/spanner size of 10mm is (generally) for an M6 nut/bolt. 8mm for M5 & 7mm for M4

Have you fitted the correct changer?
Discs the right way up? ...... that, I'm afraid is the limit of my 'expertise'

the connector fits ok. im just totally puzzled. i know my pc has to warm up or it wont work if its unplugged at the mains for too long, would this be the same

Is this a new-to-you changer? I know there are 2 similarlarly labelled changers that are different from each other.

mine is a ccrt700, the connectors are ok, its sending a singal to the radio but just says error up on screen. so i have the right changer i presume.  :-/

The Boy or Dave DND are the men to ask, but my changer (I have a CCRT700 too) is a CDC2. It has the numbers 90 566 804 but i think the all importnat number is 7 607 797 321 on the label underneath the unit.

Are the discs in the right way.

Sounds like the cd changer is communicating with the the head unit ok but the discs are not being recognised.

Are these origianl discs.

Also, moving to the ICE section

take the changer back out, and sit it on the radiator in the house (medium heat!!) for an hour or 2. then take it back out to the car and connect it up without fitting into the cage, to see if it works, I know my changers can sometimes be fussy in this real cold weather.

the warmth should dry out any condensation inside the unit.

i thought i deleted this lol. yeah cds in right way as well. when connected is it not supposed to ask for code to put in??. i disconnected battery and re connected. came up for code for radio but not cd player.

Sounds like it may be an incompatable changer. Although it may say CDC2, there are 11 varieties of this, and they are not cross compatable. The all important number is the 10 digit part number starting 7  and you need to get the correct part number changer for use with your head unit. Others may be able to advise which version is correct for you to look out for as I`m afraid I do not have a list here.
