Having a problem with my fascia I believe as my radio will cut iut completely ( all controls, lights and the display on top but when I take the fascia off and resit it it will turn back on for a minute or two or even seconds before cutting out again. Any recommendations are appreciated thanks.

I’d be inspecting the terminal pins in the headunit and the facia. Which ever has the female terminal pins. I think it’s the facia with the female terminal pins.

They can become splayed and have a poor connection intermittently.

They need to be gently squeezed closed a bit with an appropriate tool. Don't be ham fisted. You may need a magnifying glass to inspect the terminals. Theres two or three places on the facia with terminals.

It may require some dismantling of the facia.

Not sure if this helps but here are some more pictures of the fascia and head unit
