Did you replace the offending one or was it just a visual inspection?
Sometimes they look fine even when they've blown.

This man speaks sense, I tend to use the multimeter to test any I'm unsure about. The continuity test with the audible beep is particularly handy for this.

Inside the dash looked allright to be fair,didnt look like it had been hacked around in all honestly. Also yes i changed the fuse, but didnt make a difference. I will have to get a multimeter on the job at some point, as i think this is the only way forward now?

Thanks for your time and effort guys for posting, without your help over certain periods recently i would have become insane with anger!

As i said i will get a multimeter on asap, and update as to whats going on..

Cheers again peachy

I learnt this the hard way, stripped my motorbike looking for a fault after visually checking the fuses

Serious? Mine is double din (as I'm sure all 4g are) and I have a single din blanking plate bolted into the cage in the bottom space. I then have to bolt the stereo into the top space. No way of using the din cage as normal.

Totally man, the wee pocket is bolted at the back, then you can just use a cage in the top space.

From memory nothing in my 4g is bolted in to the double din radio slot. There's a tray in the bottom slot, which is just a push fit, and the aftermarket stereo is also a push fit balanced on top. This probably isn't how it should be but it works and stays put fine

On the 4th Gen and 5th gen my radios were screwed into the dash console and radio. Holes are already there for it. Sod the Clubbing Eddy cages.

^^THIS

It's more secure anyway, as you have to remove half the dash to get the stereo out!
