Replace aerial blade only

If yours has the fender (wing) mounted aerial it is a reasonably easy job. BEFORE you start have a good look at where the cable is positioned following it all the way from the aerial itself to where it goes into the back of the radio. It should go through the inner wing, across, then through the firewall (bulkhead). This will help when you need to thread the new cable through to the radio.
The aerial is mounted to the body with a nut on the upper end of the aerial body. These have a habit of rusting solid over the years so it might be a real pain in the tailbone to get off.
The time consuming part of the jobs is running the new cable into the car. As long as you checked the way the old cable was positioned before you started you should be able to pull the old cable through the firewall and the inner fender then feed the new one through the same route as the old one. The new aerial mounting nut (on the fender) doesn't need to be super tight just tight enough to stay fastened. This is one of those jobs that will probably take the skin off at least one knuckle.

Mast or complete aerial?

These covers are water tight,slide a small flat bladed screwdriver between bulb and cover ease all the way around it should slide off.When refitting put a smere of oil on the rubber and slide on.Don`t touch the bulb glass it will just blow!Good-luck....

This may not be very easy. Presuming that the aerial cable was already there and there was a standard plug on the cable that fitted into your standard socket on the radio, and presuming that you are confident that it all fitted OK, then the problem is with a faulty cable or aerial.

Just before you start, can I suggest that you DO test the radio and check that there is no fault in it. Particularly if you have removed an old radio with perfectly good reception. You might want to take it back to the shop and ask them to hook it up and test it for you. If the radio is clearly good, then my thoughts are as follows:

Typically the fault will eventially trace down to a portion of the outer copper brading in the cable being in contact with the inner core that carries the radio signal. This is usually right at the end in the plug and it's worth cutting off the plug and refitting a new one as a first step (You might even be able to carefully bare the inner core of the cable and push it into the cernre hole in the socket of the radio and test it before the new plug is fitted).

The second area of failure is typically the point at which the cable reaches the car aerial. It's not uncommon for water to get into a seal wher it is attached to the body and affect the performance of the aerial. Once again, you MAY be able to snip the cable at this end and re-make a nice clean dro connection. I have to be honest and say I don't know how the fitting go in this vehicle, so I'm shooting in the dark a little here. Obviously, if the vehicle has a built in aerial in the windscreen or back window somewhere, then my last suggestion is pretty redundant.

Finally, having tried to re-make connections at both ends of the cable, it's potentially time to buy a new aerial and cable and re-fit the whole thing from end to end. This is not a very fun job!

Check your grounds. You can use a jumper wire from the battery ground post to the ground circuit of each component. For testing.

Hi,
Ussually the fuse is in the aerial motor connector or comes with the radio fuse.
If ur annoyed by the antenna, just disconnect the electrical connector in the antenna, not the antenna wire!

U could buy the rod of the antenna only it is chepaer than buying the whole assembly!

Order it in ur nearest parts dealer!

Find the upper radiator hose follow it down to the enginewhere it clamps to the engine is a part called the goose neck the theromostas is under this part You will need to drain about a qt of antifreeze out of the radiator then you remove the hose from the goose neck then remove the twobolts that hold the neck down remove it and lift out the old tsat make sure you remove the old gasket compeltly you may need a razor blade but don;t nick the casting install new tstat new gasket you may want to use some sealer install bolts don;t over tighten 18 ft lbs is all you need install hose refill radiator start and check for leaks

got a idear for you , if you pop down to you nearest breakers most vauxhall and vw hav a short aeril on the called a bee sting aerial the simply unscrew the same as how the wip part of yor one . they should be the same thread and they look cool when changed. hope this helps

Normally there is a big nut on the back side of the aerial. Or possibly several smaller ones, depending on the type of aerial.
To help route the wire back to the radio, attach a string or similar to the plug before you remove the old aerial, you then pull the string through with the old wire, and can use this to pull the new wire back into place.

Alternatively, get a wire coat hanger and jam it into the stump of the broken aerial. May not be pretty, but they work reasonably well.
