406 D9 saloon poor radio reception

This car is really starting to annoy me with minor niggles.
Latest - the aerial had completely seized, and the inside metal part of the mast had rusted through. Got Peugeot to remove and fit a new mast (only £11 all in!). The reception on FM was good for at least 5 minutes, before it started sounding 'FUZZY'.
The radio was working perfectly when I first got it last month.
Any ideas as to what I can do to fix it?????

I've had terrible trouble with my radio. I took mine out and making sure the aeiral cable was firmly plugged in cured terrible trouble I had with my radio.

Also, some 406's (mine for example) have an amplified base at the bottom of the aerial, and these are known to fail.

Thanks. Will try taking out the radio and checking the aerial tommorrow.
