Default HU-655 - no radio reception

I have a HU-655 in an early 2004 S40 Sport which is no longer picking up any radio signals. The CD player and cassette player are working fine.

I have removed the unit, disconnected all the cables and reconnected them but this made no difference.

The aerial sounds a bit clunky at the point at which it has extended fully and also when it has retracted.

I also tried a Griffin iTrip on an iPod and couldn't get any connection to the unit.

So, it looks like signal reception is the problem.

I don't want to spend too much on trying to sort this out so what's my best bet for isolating and solving the problem i.e.

1. How can I tell whether it's the aerial or the HU-655 where the problem lies?

2. If aerial, any advice on replacement? Had a look and it's not the easiest location to get at.

3. If unit itself, any advice on replacement?

Thanks.
