CD Player at last!

[rover]

As the title would suggest I have at last bought myself a CD player for the old gal.

No big deal I just thought I'd share my joy with you

£46+ the dreaded for the new 'blue front' Panasonic......Bargain!

£46+ kev that's a decent price..

I bought a Clarion Cd tuner for sam's Suzuki wagonR+ thing and that cost 250 quid including the new set of 4" speakers.

My CD player was never happy in my Transit... it would just jump all the time... make sure you secure it nice 'n tight!!

Theres a hell of a lot of speed humps round here and it seems to be happy enough

I think the problem with many of the older CD players was the 'read ahead' was too short, the first one I had in my car did the jumping thing, but now most have around 5 secs 'read ahead' so unless you are driving down a farm track or the likes it doesnt affect them so much.

I think you're right Rover... my CD player was as old as the hills!

I've got the Ford 6006e six cd player in mine, I had it in a previous ford so I just transfered it. It plays some cds fine, others don't play at all, most just skip horribly at the tiniest bump. I just don't think it was designed with transit suspension in mind. If I pull it out off the dashboard and put it on the seat next to me it plays just fine!
