Default Wanted: radio fixing cage.

I'm in the process of installing a DAB radio into the truck as I've had enough of rubbish music.
The old radio and cage are out, but there is a stubborn screw that won't budge and is apparently made of cheese.
So I'm looking for a cage for a radio for a Terrano that has the seperate hazard light switch.
Has anyone got one going spare that they'd exchange for money?

I only have the experience of DAB in new Mercs and TBH the DAB upgrade is expensive and often useless in the Derby/Ashbourne areas hope you are in a good signal area when on the move.

My house DAB radio is better but I had to install a decent indoor antenna to get more than a handful of channels.

Not really a problem I don't think as I get good coverage right up to the Lake District and a few pockets in North Wales. DAB is really just one of several features that I was looking for, USB connectivity for my music storage and Bluetooth for handsfree.

No offers?

I had a look at his thread and it was a Toyota facia, turned upside down. My facia is fine, it's the bloody cage that holds the radio in that won't part itself from the radio. I can't see an easy way of getting the screw out.
If I can't get another one, I'll get the drill out.

Do you need the brackets? Fitted my radio in the panel without brackets just slid the normal single din cage in the slot.

It's the bit that holds the radio to the dash and has the upper two of the four bolts that hold the radio in.
It would be the bit you slid the radio into.
I'll have a look in daylight when i get back from Scotland.
