but only when I put the rear demister on. When the demister is off, the reception is great.
Anybody else had this?

This is normal for the coupe. I believe the aerial earth needs cleaning but I think it is a bit of a faff to do so I haven't done it.

There's an earth lead in the boot under the carper on the left somewhere IIRC, have a root around, when you find it, clean up the connection and voila, it will be fixed. I know this coz when one of the times I had a rear end shunt repaired, the dopey people left the lead disconnected rolleyes
