Do you have the "sting" or the "shark fin" antenna?

Depending on year and the spec of stereo your aerial may be part of the rear screen and the aerial on the roof, in both the positive and negative supply to the screen inside the hatch it has suppression fitted, one of these maybe broken causing interference on the FM signal.
