QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ May 13 2017, 06:30 PM) Can anyone confirm if the reception is particularly patchy around here? Took my new Range Rover back to the dealers last week to have the radio and antenna in the back checked out. They say there's nothing wrong but I'm not so sure, anyone else having problems as they drive round West Berkshire? I've checked the website to see if any transmitters are down but nothings showing. Anyone? I can't say I've noticed any problems with reception. There is sometimes a glitch when I go through a particular area which I've assumed is some kind of transition between transmitters as it's always at the same place, but I very rarely get drop-outs.

Last weekend I was the other side of hungerford and it was appalling, I'm used to the odd dead spot (near the memorial / job centre) is a good one but I've never had it as bad as that. Took the car straight back in but, "sorry sir, they all do that". Grrr! And it took them four days ! Double Grrr!

QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ May 13 2017, 09:45 PM) Range Rover? Capitalist Bstd. It should be sold and the proceeds redistributed. A bike for you me lad come June the 8th... Vote Corbyn!!!😂 No, with Labour, you'll have a job so will be able to afford to run a Range Rover, which is rather more than you are likely to have with the Tories in charge; very few burger friers can even afford cars! Still, if you are set on the bike, I think the LibDems are wanting to make it compulsory!

My A6 has dab and is a tad patchy in places, however if you look on the Audi forums you find other people have reported similar problems. Causes have included water ingress at the sharkfin, faulty heated rear screen and also not loving rear facing traffic cams.
