I've just picked my car up from one of those airport hotels where they park your car for you, and as soon as I switched the car on the CD made an awful whirring noise, which only stopped when I ejected the disc. Never had this before.

Now it won't play any disc. Has anyone had this problem before, and is there a solution?

You can get it repaired here www.fixmyradio.co.uk for a smallish (about
£60) fee. But do remember that new ones are not that dear.
I've used fixmyeadio on a couple of occaisions was ok for me.

Main $tealers will take £250 off you then ask for the rest!

Many thanks but I'll persevere. It's only a year old.

It now varies. Sometimes it makes no whirring noise, but on the occasions
when it does, it is when I turn the ignition to position one. As soon as I
turn it further - to turn the engine over the noise stops and it works ok.

Weird

Only a year old? Might still be under warranty??
