Additionally, CDRs are known to knacker the lasers, but sometimes you may find a CDR works better than a real CD...   ...until it shags the laser.

All good news then, I know I’m flogging a dead horse as the navi system is so out of date but it would be nice just to get it working nevertheless.

I was the same with mine. Had to change to a colour screen and have it working, coz if its fitted it should work.
As you know Im out in the sticks, where no new roads have ben built since Victoria was on the throne. So its probably perfectly accurate around here.  :D

You can still buy the NavDisc but it'd be cheaper to buy another car...

Spent ages and a fair few quid getting mine to work properly with the added help of TB and several trips to Brackley .

Rarely use it and even with the last 2011 disc it is surprising how accurate it can be despite many roads not being on it now.

Like others my logic is if it has it and it can work...then why not get it fixed ...although it has recently started squirting the disc out again when first started in the mornings so expect moisture is forming on disc ....or laser is starting to get tired.
