As above guys, will play eventually but when its cold I just get ''ERROR CD''.

Do i need to get some CD player cleaner stuff. Or a replacement unit? i have the prongs to remove stereo if required

[PhilRich]

Sounds like condensation inside the unit Webby, or on the surface of the disc or both .
Run the A/C until the car warms up (in the cabin)

[Webby the Bear]

Thanks Phil,

Yeah done that mate and its made no difference.

ill jam a cleaner in there and see what happens.

How much do cd units go for on 'ere if i end up needing one?

I usually get the message 'NO DISC'

[Webby the Bear]

Not for me Opti. i stick the CD in. It blinks for a few seconds, then spits the CD out with ERROR CD lol

Dang cd player!

I have one if you need one £20 +P&P sound reasonable?

[Webby the Bear]

Thanks Mr Gav,

Will let you know if i need one. 

[Mr Gav]

No Problem 

[ronnyd]

Are you playing pre-recorded discs? as copy ones sometimes cause problems

[Webby the Bear]

Yeah, proper bought CDs. No copies 

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Been getting it a bit lately myself, due to the condensation, on original, non-copied discs. Sorry that doesn't exactly help you, but it is a known common fault.

[Webby the Bear]

Cheers DBG.

I always wipe the CD before trying to pop it in. So i cant really say its condensation on the disc.

Who knows. if cleaning dont work ill just pop a new one in.

Will i need to know new radio codes or will it just plug n play?

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Don't forget condensation on the lens / overall internally  Appreciate what you mean, not vast pennies for a replacement, on the other hand you don't want to go throwing a perfectly good stereo out.

All I can suggest is try having the aircon on for a long run, with lots of heat - I find having a rear window ajar helps with internal moisture (no giggling at the back, please  ) and after maybe half an hour/an hour, then turn the CD on - if still not playing ball then I'd say it's looking less cold-related and more age-related.

Agreed mate, thanks for the help

Pull the stereo and pop it in the airing cupboard for a few days
