What would cause the AM channel, all stations to go dead while FM, CD and WB all work fine?

If the antenna isn't hosed I would guess the head unit might be. Check the antenna first. WB and FM are much higher in the frequency range than AM.

Just a guess though

The antenna in built into the glass on 2002 Disco so I don't think the antenna is the problem.
Thanks.

The antenna is built into the glass but there is still a cable that runs to the radio that could be damaged and the wire in the two rear side windows could still brake. Haven't you ever seen a rear window defoger or even the front heated windscreen with an element that didn't heat up? But as I said it could just be a bad head unit. Either way it sounds like something covered under warrantee if you have a 2002.

On the Disoc I if the two leads are switched on the back of the radio AM will not work but the rest will. On a Disco II their is only one lead and a couple of connectors. Have seen problem in 2002 disco with it wired wrong to work with nav unit instead of regular radio

Thanks Al, I realized later about what you said, that a cable or wire from the elements inside the window could be the problem. I have an appointment with LR service to check it out. Thanks again for the comments.

Its the freakin aliens, they are in your area and transmitting on the AM band so they have blocked it out in your area, check with your neighbors, I bet they have the same problem. Lock your doors and put the tin foil helmut on, dont you remember Art Bell warning of this.... :D
