The one on the car is the early type. The one on its side is the later style replacement and what was fitted to mine. I replaced mine last month because the reception was terrible. I fitted one for a Peugeot complete with the new down lead. The reception has never been so good and the replacement kit only cost £7 from Amazon.Fitted a new LR aerial base to try and make radio reception better. LR one is at the top. It's a different shape than what was there and there was no soft 'sealing' pad either. View attachment 146279
£7!! even with freight that would have to be a saving. My one was just under £20!! and then freight.
When I read the title I didn't think I'd like it but I have to admit it looks good.Chequer plate on the bonnet. Actually I done it a couple of weeks ago. View attachment 146356

Doubt that. Think I'll sell it.Looks in good nick ( apart from the bonnet lol ) mind you it should be as only done 52k !
The agro will start soon !
They should come away pretty easily but can be stuck. Try tapping the rear joint where it bolts to the rear diff with a hammer and it should come away. The front of the prop shaft fits into a very shallow cup but should also knock off fairly easily. If no joy drop the VCU onto a box so that it only drops 6 inches or so and the ends should come away more easily.Passed MOT today. Smog numbers better than two years ago, I guess all that fretting and changing all the filters I could find did some good.
Saturday I put the car on jacks meaning to pull the VCU and propshafts. Got all 14 bolts out but couldn't budge the prop shafts from their respective seats. Hadn't really left myself enough room to move around in to be honest; nothing I tried worked and I was growing frustrated so I put it back together. May have another go tomorrow blocking it higher and with a bigger hammer ...
Nice one, bigger hammer fixes everything.Alibro, color me sheepish , I tried again today and that's exactly what happened. If I'd tapped just a little harder the other day they would had just fallen off I'm sure. The difference today was that I jacked it up higher, enough for me to bring more force to bear, and I used a bigger hammer and a chisel. Fell right apart. So now I'm in Mondo mode until I get the chance to order the new VCU from Bell. My wife's Peugeot just went in for unexpected repairs so it may have to wait a month or so but at least I can rest easy about the drive line.
fixed it!someone put a dent in the tailgate a few months ago & since then the window wont fully retract - now after disconnecting the battery the tailgate window wont close - goes up, does a bunch of beeping then tries to retract.
Cheers
