Driving home earlier this week I went to turn the Radio on, only to find it was dead. I've been hankering after the rather lovely Retro Look Blaupunkt Bremen SQR 46 DAB, but it is almost £350.00.This could be the opportunity I wanted... But before I shot off an order I thought I should make a token effort to check the connections, so I could make a convincing argument to SWMBO . The Alpine DAB radio is about 10 years old and is fed directly from the ignition, as MMC intended but there is a secondary feed from the battery to power the memory and so on. To my disappointment I found the fuse in this second feed was lose in its holder... I pushed it down so it seated correctly and turned on the Radio, it worked. Opportunity lost...

My English is not really good, didn't Peter write that the fuse was not the cause?

Oh, thank you, Richard. My last post was a failed attempt by a German to be funny🙄.

The solution to the possible problem is a zip tie round the fuse and holder...
Spelling is known to be prone to errors, mostly down to dyslexia...

This destroys the myth that Germans have no sense of humour - the ones I know have a lovely sense of humour.

Many years ago the Dyslexia Society produced a book of cartoons - on the front were two people coming out of the Dyslexia Society to be faced with a man with a large, shaggy, horned beast on a lead. Said one dyslexic to the other "Put your hands up - he`s got a gnu.".I think it`s great when those of us who have some sort of disability can laugh at ourselves.

Or: What do you get if you cross a Dyslexic with an Agnostic and an Insomniac? Someone who sits up all night wondering if there really is a dog!
