I doubt that a UK DAB+ receiver would pick up UK content outside the UK, but then you missed out the other option you have: move to the UK.
Sorry, I know that this isn't a great idea.
What about using an Android capable car radio, or an Apple play one if your device needs that. The 2017 Kenwood radio in my daily offers access to both, but in a limited way compared to newer sets, though using my phone's 5g hotspot (not needed for audio only and decent 3g or 4g would be fine), I can control Internet radio from the in car device so once the connection is established, the radio can control the phone's apps with one or two exceptions such as the STV player / ITV Hub and Google Play Music.
Meanwhile, enjoy your LW while you still can, though the Beeb has a history of threatening to kill off its remaining AM content only to change its mind and grant yet another extension.
Zel, that Valencia valve train noise would worry me more if I couldn't hear it, as that would see me ordering in valve seat inserts in the hope that [the valve seats] hadn't receded too far even allowing for the depth of the rebate needed to fit the hardened seats. Mercedes-Benz engines are fortunately not made of some sort of cheese, so your adjusting these clearances should see the motor running sweetly once more and optimum efficiency given a better chance of happening.
Loving the beige wagon by the way. It very much resembles the one that Ant fixed up in one of the American WD episodes. Mr Brewer is known to be a massive fan of the W123 cars and quite rightly so, these are lovely old things and so practical that there's surely no reason not to own at least one in one's lifetime. Well done for finding a decent example. Enjoy.
