For an owner of two cars with rear-screen aerials and hacked-about wiring,
can you tell me the colour of this wire? I think it's white or grey.
'Appalling' is a mild way of describing the reception in my 80. It's being
made worse by my working close to the FM transmitter for the area (no,
contrary to what you'd think this doesn't improve reception).
