The car radio is bust
I'm driving 320 miles on Saturday
Fiat can't fit me in until tomorrow and wouldn't get a new one in until next week sometime

Help

I think I have these options

  1. Go with no radio (not practical - I'd kill DD & BF before we are out of Norfolk)
  2. Replace radio (it has satnav/mobile/cd as well which all work - so I'm guessing that is an expensive option)
  3. buy cheap radio which can be plugged into lighter socket & get it fixed after the holiday(not sure if they exsit and if we have a lighter socket)

Does anyone have any suggestions which is the best idea or if there are any better ones?

get a radio cheaply from argos, and get your bf or dd to hold it, take plenty of batteries.

Thats a lot of batteries

I wonder if they do a solar one?

Get a wind-up radio , always useful to have afterwards.

I have a radio on my mobile but tried it in the car when our stereo wasn't working and the noise of the engine drowned the radio out.

I'm getting a wind up solar one from Argos

It will be useful afterwards as well

ThaNKS for your suggestions
