In post #1 you mentioned that the sat nav drive got wet some time back, was that a known water source/spillage or one of our well documented MGR 'mystery' leaks?
Is it therefore possible the tuner got a soaking around the same time - if it sat in a puddle then it may have subsequently deteriorated over time. Have you got anyone local willing to swap out their working tuner to run a comparison?
If it works normally then you have an answer, your tuner is duff for whatever reason. If it still acts up then perhaps there is a intermittant wiring fault either at the multiplug or chaffed wiring elsewhere - go hunt the thimble time.....
