306 Radio + Air con

Hello,
I recently purchased a 306 TD sport S-reg 1998.

***RADIO QUERY***
If i manually pop in a station, say 97.9, it'll come up with RADIO 1 and
will play sound. However, if i do an auto seek, it doesn't pick up any
stations????? It just goes all the way through and never stops again.

Also, if i do manually select a station, if i go under a tree i lose
recption - bif naff!

I have taken out the (Clarion) head unit, and the aerial (with very weird
looking co-ax connection) is firmly in the back of the unit. The aerial on
the roof as a slight kink in it.

Now, Is this a problem? or is it just Peugeot?

***AIR CON***
I'm after the air conditioning pipes. Seemingly its the longer one that has
broke. But whilst i'm at it, i might as well do the shorted one too. Are
there any other places than peugeot i could get the parts?

Moneys a tad tight after just buy the car (

Cheers and thanks in Advance

To answer your Radio issue, the reception on the OEM Head Unit is
notoriously crap. The only way to improve it is to replace it. The aerial
is fine.

As for the air con components have you tried www.eurocarparts.com try giving
them a ring if you can't find what you want on the site.

Cheers.

 

The design is flawed, in that the flexible pipe from the engine-mounted
compressor waggles the end of the longer aluminium pipe which eventually
fatigue-fractures at the bend, just next to the support. If you replace the
parts the same thing will happen again in time.

My local aircon specialist fitted longer flexible pipes to shorter fixed
pipes, with the joints made just next to the pipe supports, rather than some
inches away in mid-air.
