Will probably be the antenna above the roof liner. This was a cmax, Freelanders suffer with this too. I cover them with duct tape when I replace them to shield them from the condensation drops.

Yes post 2 is right. There should be 2 antenna in the vehicle. If u run a diagnostic it might point u the direction of which exact 1 is the culprit. Kuga show have 1 in the centre arm rest and 1 further up the centre console closer to the gear leaver . But I am not 100% sure. Had this problem on a ford focus. Hope this helps.
