So all in all the internet is providing me with advice along the lines of: "it'll be reyt but don't do it again but actually it might be the fooking apocalypse for the entire contents of the engine bay" Clear as, well, the water I went through really :p

Nowt wrong with a rusty antenna after a dirty weekend.

No but the floor mat started floating (now that really was a weird sensation). I'm going to have a look seem if there's any crud crusted on near the drain holes and in 'em before giving the whole thing a wash down and await the inevitable "what's that grating noise" game.

If someone else is paying get a Fluke:p will last forever.

Here's hoping the new battery solves it, judging by the state of that wiring job expect to find some real gems courtesy of "bodge it & scarper" engineering as you go along with some of your other electrics. Multimeter is good investment and not a lot (£20 territory) for one for basic use voltage...

I was probably the 20th vehicle to go through so was fairly churned up

Title says it all, forgot to put some wading plugs in and ended up going though some water up to the bottom of my doors at the weekend, was probably only about a 20m section and went though it without stopping Should I be worried? What should I be checking? I have extended breathers it was just...

Is there any smell to go with the noise? What state are your brakes in? Could one be binding?

Aye the ones that go to the chassis, I don't mind getting the flappy paddle wheel out :), will send you a PM.

The fleshy looking things in my picture are my fingers, my hands are big but not that chuffin' big:p

For cheap and cheerful and may or may not last, maybe look at CREE LED stuff? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MICTUNING-CREE-LED-Lights-Bar-Spot-Beam-4X4-Off-Road-Boat-Driving-2X-4-18W/292192291844?epid=2095570241&hash=item4408048c04:g:OBkAAOSwfflZc4rv Think you can get them a bit cheaper if you...

2k for a 90 CSW?!?!? bargain, as long as it ain't a rot box of course.

Some lateral google bashing later, found one for a tenner. :) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Roof-Mounted-Coil-Spring-Car-Radio-Aerial-FM-AM-Antenna-with-Base-Lead/201257585371?epid=1350157720&hash=item2edbe30adb:g:mhMAAOSwCMFZ~HRF

Actually, for the first time since getting, it took it off road (laning)!!! and didn't get stuck either!!! :D, only thing that broke was the Driver's window, but the mechanism was knackered anyway, now its just a little bit more knackered... not bad at all. Have to say I was very impressed by...

Any idea what the aerial type is called? As much as I could get a rubber covered one for a fiver I do like the look of the one I broke so want to get a replacement one (mine was rusty as fook too:D)

Aye, I'm going to trace it though I would like to replace it because I do actually like the look of it.

Completely forgot Google can do that... :rolleyes: I was thinking it looked like a CB antenna but surely the range on one that small is pretty bad anywhere that isn't open? Especially next something so honking electrically noisy as the engine?

Offside front wing, on top of it, looks like it was next to, what I'm now assuming what's left of the stereo antenna

Have added it now, keen bean!

Anyone able to identify what this type of antenna is called? Managed to sheer it off :oops: while tinkering with my wipers. It was mounted on my wing, I assumed it was for the radio but I'm thinking not as it still works...
