Yeah my engine affects the radio... It sends these little ticks through the radio every "knock" of the engine (my engine is quite load). I've searched around a bit and everyone seems to say that this is because of bad wires. I'm just curious which wires I should check and what I should do to fix them.

 

Cheers.

Need a supressor on the alternator.

Cheers Justin. Roughly how much am I looking at? More of a minor inconvenience so if it's too much I'll just live without the station. :cool:

Pretty much just a capacitor, Filters the alternator output and smooths out any ripples in the output voltage.. just find another one off a spare alternator..

Ok so I'm looking for a capacitor. Can it be off any Make/Model or?

Should be on the back of pretty much any alternator, some are metal casing, some are plastic, just goes to D+ on the back of the alternator or the B+ terminal..

Do you have an upgraded audio system?

 

The "buzz" is AC voltages from the alternator.

If you have an amplifier, and its in the boot, you need to check a few things.

 

Please clarify what your sound system is made up with.

sometimes if a ground is bad you will get rev noises affecting your stereo. perhaps you could try re-attaching your ground somewhere else on the car. any part of the chassis is fine.
