Problems with a Ford DAB radio.

Can anyone help me with a problem I have with my Ford DAB radio. When I a listen to FM it skips back a few words, a bit like a needle on a record skipping back in a groove.

Nothing you can do about it. DAB and FM transmissions are never in 'sync'. The DAB signal is always a couple of seconds or more behind FM. So are radio transmissions by Freeview,cable or Sky. Its all to do with the time factor involved in connecting the signal at the transmission end. Setting your watch by the Greenwich time signal should always be done on FM.
