Is there supposed to be much difference between STBs/tuners in this
area? I thought that sensitivity to imulse interference was a
characteristic of the DAB modulation scheme (COFDM).

I don't know - I've asked around on alt.tech.digital-tv and not get
much in the line of an answer; If I thought for sure it would not
droput sound and occasionally pixelate (interference is far worse on
sound), I'd buy a Sony tomorrow, but I just can't find out
I also have a GDB4 and the effect of the cooker igniter is very
obvious.

Coincidentally, this reference came up today:-

"Many thanks to http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jeremy.pick/gdb3/.

Using the files and instructions there I was able to regress my version 4.2
back to 3.12 (via 0.6). Now no more annoying sound dropouts and "no
information"s in the menu, as reported by others. True, I don't have
7-day EPG any more but I was quite happy without it when I bought the
unit."

A GDB4 needs a scart made up as per instructions on the site - I would
happily backflight my GDB4 if it improved the sound. I just might have a
go.

I've already butchered the box to improve ventilation, it was running
hotter than hells hinges, but it did no good, well I never thought it
would.Right said Fred...... clearly I need a can of lager.
