The left-hand speakers on my radio cut out from time to time.

Please don't laugh at the next bit (it's an Alfa after all) - if I
open/close one of the electric windows, the speakers cut back in again !!!

Any ideas where I should be looking for the fault ?

Behind the door card.  At a guess the window winding down is nudging the
connectors.

check also the connector between door and body

Yes, this happened to my 2003 156 (under warranty).  The dealer thoroughly
cleaned the multi-pin connector between door and body and the problem was
resolved.  (Didn't stop them first insisting it was the CD unit & returning
it to Blaupunkt!)

I have this problem with the right hand speakers. I find if I turn the
volume way up (briefly!) it comes on again.

I suspect a bad connection somewhere, but haven't bothered to try to locate
it.
