CD problem can Halfords easily fit a new one?

[Zygalski]

Ok.
So the player is empty, I try to load a disk "Loading" appears on the display but I get a clicking sound & the player refuses to load a disc.
Is it time for a new player & has anyone had any experience with Halfords fitting a new one?

I'm thinking cheap & basic like

mate there easy to fit yourself i wouldn't let halfrauds to it

£35 for fitting isn't it last time I checked, although that was a few years ago now!

charge by the hour £40

extremely easy to fit, shop around and do it yourself

 

[racerg6]

+1 just do it yourself mate, its so easy and you'll save yourself a fortune!

I dont think i'd trust a halfords employee anywhere near my car anyways tbh, they haven't got a clue what they're doing. I went in one day to ask for advice from a friend of a friend that worked in there when i was fitting mine and after 5 mins of him faffing about in my car it was clear i had a much better idea of what i was doing than he did (and i was completely clueless!) lol.

£40 an hour FLOL!

 

[Zygalski]

Fair enough, but what about the no loading/repeated clicking prob?

 

[racerg6]

Cant help you there bud, i'm sure someone on here will know. Is it the standard unit?

Sounds like a perfect excuse for a new head unit to me tho lol.

 

[Zygalski]

Yes it's the standard one.

 

[DannyR]

Its fucked!

 

[Zygalski]

It decided to work again on the way home.
Hopefully my CD won't get stuck in the bloody thing!

Mine is doing the same thing....So if any one has a working replacement...I will buy it

Not worth paying halfords to fit one.
Hardest part is getting all the wires out the way at the back.

[Tigger]

I wouldn't trust Halfrauds to put a seatbelt on nevermind fit a CD-Player :nono:

my brother has had the same problem with his. clicking noise, cd getting stuck then working again. i think its just a poor quality player. BUT do not let any1 in halfrauds near your car (YOU WILL HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS IF THEY DO)
best bet is buy a aftermarket player and fit it your self.. easy peasy...
