mines poor too. often canonly find strongest signals and loses those
if travel thru a dip.

think previously was posted that cable had rotted? in roof lining and replaced it.

have toyed with just tring a new screw in aerial as mine is a bit battered, or mounting a new one towards front of car roof. tend to play cds instead.

thanx for that will take a look and see

thanx john.........

Are all the Halfords chav aerial masts the same lower thread as ours? It looks like someone's dog's been chewing on mine...

Mine came with a choice of screw in threads to suit different types of cars :smile:

What you need is one of those rubber coated flexi aerials. I fitted one after my first off road session saw some tree trash the original one.
Now I have no problem with signal ,and I live out in the sticks :wink:

I must agree my reception is poor, in my old trooper I fitted one of the windscreen 12v supplied antennas,(£10 ebay) top reception with them with the added plus of not ripping off the roof mounted one with branches.

One problem which occurs is in terms of the aerial cable connection to the back of the head unit. On my wagon the wire to the centre pin of the connector had broken, meaning poor & patchy radio reception. The solution was just to run a replacement cabel from the aerial to the head unit, and whhen I did this, becuase I'd fitted a JVC stereo, I also just fitted a cable with a standard (is it ISO?) plug on the end, rather than the jap spec cable which in turn needed an adaptor to fit the JVC. Only cost a few quid from Halfords, the radio reception was fine after this.
