I thought I'd have to change the head unit because the cd was skipping for the first 5-10 mins of driving.
I didn't want to cos I like the original look and sound ( & I want to spend £300+ on refurbing my alloys )
So I thought I'd clean the CD lens......it's mounted up-over so thought dirt might be accumulating on the lens.
I used a fluid lens cleaner disc several times and hey-presto....no more skipping.
Total cost - £4 and 20 mins work.
Worth a try for £4
