    pull it out and check that there is no corrosion on the antenae and the plug is secure, appart from that, maybe a bad antenae

    Long shot, but do you have a factory LPG system fitted?

    Yeah the car has No LPG system installed.
    But I will try and take the head unit out.
    Is there special tools required to take the standard head unit out?

    bend coat hanger wires do the job, or some bits of wire that are a bit stronger than coat hangers
