If memory serves, that was an earthing issue, a noise reducing capacitor can normally be sourced from local audio store or Maplin.
I do remember great as it was, it never totally got rid of the feedback, until the radio was replaced.

Whoever replaces it, make sure the screen incudes the built-in Aerial.
A number of Z1 appear to have had external aerials fitted, not sure if that is because they are no longer incorporated into the windshield or for additional long range coverage.

Yes indeed and 1 sub was certainly good enough for roof down conditions.
