A Scientific Atlanta 4200DVB is not a V+ box, it's a standard V box. The V+ is an 8300.
STurtle:
You could well have a faulty V box as it sounds like the ground for the audio is missing (could be dry joint or blown track on the SCART socket.) I used to work in the car audio repair trade and we used to get loads of stereos back for making an external amp 'Hum' just as you describe and it was usually an open circuit track on the PCB between the RCA sockets and the main ground in the circuit. Some manufacturers used fuse links to ground the RCA's so these would blow instead of a copper track.
