However, it has a Grundig radio fitted, and the reception around town seems
to be very poor. If he drives under anythung (even seems plastic is a
problem!), the signal goes very weak or disappears.

I only have a very short look at the car, is the aerial in the windscreen
on
these cars?

Is Grundig the standard fitted radio/cassette?

Does anyone else have this problem?<<

We're on our third 156 now (a Sportwagon after two saloons) and none of
them has had a problem with radio reception.  The aerial is actually in the
top two bars of the heated rear window.  Because they didn't heat up like
the rest of the h.r.w., I thought it was faulty on our first 156 until the
dealer assured me that they were all like this!

Our three cars have all had the same radio-cassette which although it is
labelled "Alfa Romeo", is I think made by Alpine, it certainly isn't
Grundig.
