Default Re: Part solution to my Christmas dash lights?

Still new to these new fangled gizmo's but take your point 180. Also apologies for the extended time in sorting problems with car but I have other things that take priority. However, pleased to report normal service has been resumed with my XF with no more Christmas tree decorations to cause a distraction. Main culprits were as mentioned before a cracked ABS ring on a front hub. Took the easy way out on that one and replaced the hub with a good used version. Also replaced all four wheel speed sensors and after carrying out a re-solder job on the RCU decided there were other issues with that unit. Close inspection revealed a slightly burned relay contact. As this was the original RCU according to the date printed on it's side I decided to replace with a new unit bought from ROCK Auto NY and sent to my in-laws address in CA. She who must be obayed has just returned home after a visit so brought the item back with her, fitted it this afternoon and all is restored and back to normal. Also carried out a parasitic drain on battery check as per Eric the car guys thread to find that power is being drained through the radio and interior light switch. Suggestions on a good radio replacement would be appreciated.
