£21 is less than 200 miles of diesel

Well, yes, but a new radio/CD player will be worth more than the car :-)

More to the point is the hassle factor. Back in the day, taking a radio
out was a couple of bolts. Now, the car seems to be built around the
radio, and even if I get the old radio out, I bet all the connectors are
different. Used to be easy - power cable with inline fuse, two wires to
the speaker and a socket for the aerial. Job done.
