when ive got the radio on it seems to fade really low then come back up or cut straight off the sound comes blaring back out, speakers or unit itself? is it common prob?

When your driving along?

Try adjusting the speed dependant volume (GALA).

yeah just while driving, does it actually say gala on the button?

Have a look in your stereo manual, its in a menu that you select.

Hold TP till it beeps then press TP rpepatedly till GALA shows on the display, anything over about 5 will **** you off. Once it's set press TP once more then press A/F to put the radio back on.

Set properly it's a really good feature that you only notice the lack of in other cars.

Remember this being in the Calibra my Dad had back in the early '90s. It's such a good feature that I forgot I'd set it up in the Mondeo - it just subtely adjusts the volume up and down perfectly with the noise of the engine!
