Been meaning to ask about this for a while, but it finally made me shake my fist at the sky when I couldn't get 5 Live on the run back from Beaulieu yesterday. When I bought the car a year ago, AM radio reception was perfect (well as perfect as AM radio can be). At some point in my ownership that has changed, and the receiption is now almost non existent. Can vaguely hear some of the preset stations very faintly on occasion, scan doesn't find anything at all. Where is the aerial for the AM radio? (V8V roadster). I've had the windscreen replaced in my ownership - wondering if in the course of doing that something could have become disconnected?

It's the AM module that's gone. It's fitted somewhere in the rear wheel well.

I asked the dealer to look at mine a few years ago, I think they quoted £500-£600 to sort. I stick to FM.
