    I got a new car radio fitted in halfords today. On the way home it started making a rattling sound. It sounds like wires behind are either loose or rubbing together.

    I don't really want to go near it myself but has anyone ever had this happen?

    Go back and get it sorted if it is annoying you. But if it's a halfords install, it should be quite easy to remove and secure wires, if that really is the problem.

    I haven't tried putting a CD in yet. I just had the radio on and connected it to my ipod. It seemed to get louder the more i drove. Ill check the cd player before I go back to the shop.

    Often there's a leg that screws in the back to anchor it, some fitters don't bother fitting it.
