Mk2 Stereo Woes!

[greg]

Hi,

 

The headunit/changer is malfunctioning in my galaxy its original ford 5000 cassette with changer, the radio works but the display flashs constantly I brought the car with the intention of just replacing it with a ford 6000 model and the thinking that there's 'plenty for sale on ebay'! alas there isn't!!

Now bearing in mind my galaxy is a whole new puppy to me, I know I can fit a standard size stereo in there with a blanking plate or similar but i wanted to stick with a ford unit if possible.

I've seen on ebay whats advertised as a galaxy unit but its slightly different to the normal ford 5000/6000 unit, perhaps a later version for the mk3?? question is would it fit into my mk2?

 

failing that does anyone know where I could possibly obtain a ford 6000 cd player from other than ebay??

 

many thanks

Greg

The standard ford 5000/6000 cd units are the same units however to fit the galaxy, the fascia is slightly different to say the mondeo and fiesta stereos. the hole in the dash on the galaxy has less rounded edges if that makes sense...
