Radio Cassette fault
I bought a replacement Rover radio/cassette CR213X for my facelift 75. The car was originally fitted with a radio/cd player, but as I wanted to play all my old 'fluff Freeman' Pick of the Pops tapes, I fitted a CR213X unit, which worked fine till a few months ago, when the tape player started to play up. This replacement I bought keeps beeping every few seconds as if it is trying to tune into a station, even though it is tuned in. Any ideas

I'm afraid not Bob but I would really like to hear your Alan Freeman Pick of the Pops tapes! His was certainly an act that no other DJ has been able to follow.

You would be better off trying the Technology Forum.--The techies might be able to help.--

I think they beep when they want the code put in.
Try putting it in again.

radio/cassette
When the new unit is turned on, it goes to a pre selected radio station and plays, but then it gives off a beep, goes back to the radio for a second or so, then beeps again and keeps doing so. I've refitted the radio/cd back in whilst I try and fathom out what is wrong. I love listening to the old Pick of the Pops tapes and on one of them, after playing Sam the Sham's Wooly Bully, old 'Fluff' introduces the next record by saying "well pop pickers, back in 1965, were you a NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- or a turner", before playing the Ivy League's Tossing and Turning.

In the first unit, the problem with the tape player is probably the drive belt failing. An easy fix if you can track down a replacement belt. I seem to remember you could get a selection pack of these from a company in Ireland.
