Hi chaps hoping a quick fix just purchased a cd cartridge for cd player in glove box but system saying no cd loaded when obvisiously cartrigde is full and cd s in face up,any suggestions ascartrige obviously fits,its a 2004 vogue petrol if that helps and cd motor makes a noise when cartridge enters so appears to be pwer to unit ,cheers cant be the first to have this glitch so advise appreciated

Honestly, hit it with a hammer or the rubber shaft if squeamish, , see if that works.

Think I've got a cd carrier in the garage if you need one

Try the CDs the other way up?  There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Probably damage dash if try and hit with a hammer as well concealed in dash,although sorely tempted,wil have a look in day light and let you guys know outcome.tried cds other way up and no joy,thanks for input other suggestions welcome

As NMJ says, put the cds face down, i.e. the face that has no writing on it should be face down in the cartridge.
Also, check the cd format is correct.

Cd Format ? Apologies for being clueless

Does it cycle the discs if you select a different disc?

If so it could be a dirty laser or duff disc motor mechanism, as said, a good blow out could sort it out. You can buy cans of Air duster from many plumbers merchants  There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
