Hi, the radio reception on our 2017 Berlingo van is very poor and not great at picking up stations or keeping locked on to stations, it used to be better than this so I was wondering is it somehow linked to the satnav (no longer subscribed to) or are there any places to look to improve the reception?

Somewhere closer to London might be a start!

I'd check the connections at the radio and also at the underside of the aerial before going too deep.
I say this as I recently had some deteriorating reception on my Maxda followed by total failure, inspection found the cable had become detached.

It’ll be the aerial base. The DAB aerial is built into it and powered. They tend to fail resulting in poor reception.
Replaced two on my previous 65 plate and one on my 68 plate.
