Multichange - CD Error - E3

[:J:]

Pretty much as the title suggests, I am getting the error mentioned when trying to put a cd on.

It is the in dash multichanger (2003 Focus), it has some discs in it.

Car wouldn't start the other day, battery had gone a bit flat due to non-use, started on jump leads and then cd wouldn't work.

It first showed I had no cd's. I then pressed the load button, where it picked up disc 1 and started playing it. Thought I had found the method, tried it for cd 2 and now get the cd error - E3 when trying to do anything, even put on disc 1.

So, anybody seen the problem before and had it resolved ? Is it an easy fix ? Can I do it ?

Basically, to get to the point, can anybody tell me what it is before I have to call up my local Dick Turpin Dealer and get robbed of £80 for the privledge ?

Thanks in advance, J.

Nice one, thank you, I did a quick search on the error, but the 5 mins my boss was out of the room didn't give me much time to keep looking

Right, deep breath and start taking stereo apart.......
