Thanks to everyone for all the support and advice. I charged the battery and tested it with a multi meter [ thanks to Kev for the invaluable advice about testing batts.]Put the battery on today and, surprise, surprise started, first time. I tested as much as I could ,lights,windows,blind etc. and the only thing that didn't work was the radio/tape. The 20amp fuse looks OK [ didnt test it, but it looked whole] so has  anyone any suggestions of any more radio fuses?, or other things?
Thanks again.

Grandmas and eggs I expect, but if you have disconnected the battery, have you input the radio codes?
My CCRT700 has a fuse behind the head unit - don't ask how I tracked that down!

Thanks Shackeng, the problem is no life in the radio/tape to input the code, all the rest of display fine, trip distance, temp.,mpg,average speed, etc, all OK but can't get any radio display to input code.

As said, mine has a fuse behind the head unit which blew, and took me ages to track down. Don't know if yours has one. Ask in the Radio forum. HTH

remove the 4 grub screws from either side of the radio facia, then you need a pair of these .... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Autoleads-PC5-83-Universal-Radio-Removal-Tools_W0QQitemZ380281596792QQcmdZViewItem?rvr_id=198466926536&rvr_id=198466926536&cguid=b13b736412b0a47a26332ce3ffd44afd

You'll get them from Halfords or a local radio spares place .... hopefully for less than the cost of these, but it was a decent picture

Cheers Andy, I have got that far[ already had the 2 U clips, but it doesn't seem to want to come out. I.ll give it another try now I know thats whats to do.

well, tried again,it seems to start to come out initially but only about 2mm then seems to stick.

[Dave DND]

CCRT700 will have a small blade fuse at the rear, and I think also a seperate telematics unit with its own fuse also, although that one shouldn`t stop the stereo from firing up.

With stereo out, check for permanent and ignition lives in the lower of the 3 blocks at the rear of the radio

Mine is pretty stiff, but they do come out eventually.

I seem to remember that I (might have) put a blade down each side to release a forward facing catch. (I might be making this up!) Unless DaveDND knows better.

Can be a very tight fit in the cage - be carefull not to break it.

Well boys, good news, I eventually managed to prise the b----y thing out[ thats where the obstetrics training came in handy ]
Once out found the 7.5 fuse at the back, replaced that and , Hey Presto, it worked. Getting it back was a bit was a bit of a b-----d [ shouting at it helps ] but once in , coded it and back to normal.
I'd like to thank everyone that contributed, it really is nice that in this day and age, people are still prepared to help others, without a bill at the end.
I will check this site as regularlly as I can, maybe I can help someone as well.
All the best boys
