Don't know if anybody else has had this problem, but I cant get medium wave on my factory fitted Radio in my 2004 E85. I can get FM stations no problem, but as soon as I switch to MW just get a crackling noise

You've not got a stubby fitted have you. I went back to my whippy as I couldnt get talk sport on AM once out in the sticks with my Citroen stubby fitted.

No stubby, still got my whippy, it does have an upside, I don't have to listen to Everton under Koemann on Radio 5, but it would be nice to get MW
