Radio dead - replace or repair?
My radio (the basic LCD display one not the touch screen) on 2008 X Type Diesel Auto has suddenly died (LCD dead), although the surrounding buttons are still illuminating - no other symptoms. Have checked and replaced 10 amp fuse #43 which was blown but blows again immediately when radio switched on.
Is this pointing to a short or other fault in the radio unit itself or something worse? Is it cheaper and easier just to replace the whole thing with a salvage unit for less than £100, with the risk that there may still be a problem somewhere else?
Or should I go for a complete new aftermarket job with all the bells and whistles inc sat nav?
Any suggestions out there?
Thanks in advance.
