Ford 6006E radio Help
This might seem like a strange thread to make on CF but since some members seem to be into there cars etc etc am looking for some help. My fathers CD player has broke. I've found that its a part inside thats snapped and after looking around the web for hours the other day most people say that its just worth scrapping.
Anyway he bought another one second hand which is also having problems. When older discs go in they play fine but new discs cause a scratching noise and when I open it up its the disc slipping off the Rail/cd holder inside (sorry dont know the right terms). I've looked around and there's alot of people that have had similair problems with this model radio which is leading me to beleive its a common fault with the radio build.
The model is the 6006E 6 disc changer and I've looked all over Fords website for any information about getting them repaired or replaced and cant find anything.
So onto the question lol. Does anyone know were they can be bought new ? Or repaired ? How much they cost etc etc or is it worth looking at a diffrent CD player with some kind of facia kit to fit it in.
P.S. sorry for the long winded post. I wasted most the day trying to find the right infomation wthout success and its really getting to me

Re: Ford 6006E radio Help
If it were me I'd get a different stereo of a good brand and buy a fascia kit to fit it

Re: Ford 6006E radio Help
Halfords are pretty good for supplying that kind of thing, they'll even fit the stereo with the fascia at cost, but it does mean they have the wiring "problem" to worry about

Re: Ford 6006E radio Help
Aren't Ford radios notoriously difficult to remove (and therefore fit)?

No they are easy to remove if you've got the keys. I'd sooner go with the facia kit and buy a quality CD player than the bulky ones FORD put in their cars.

Re: Ford 6006E radio Help
A set of 4 keys from Halfords are £15, there are the little hook keys which are cheaper but the ones for the big bulky radios are £15.

That will be for them that look like little coat hangers, the ones that cost £15 are for the new style of FORD radios, the £15 ones are flat with little rings on the end.
The £15 keys fit this radio.  The £4 keys fit this model.
