129 aerial

[100%Bitch]

My aerial seems to be curved and I'm wondering if it needs changing as it is getting slow to extend/retract. I have tried greasing it ( I know how to do that) but no major improvement.

I was thinking of replacing it with one from an R230. It looks as though it will fit but is there anything I need to be aware of as I'm expecting it to be a straight swap?

Hi Helen,

It wont be a straight swap i am afraid, You can buy replacement masts, they are very easy to fit and only cost about £20 if i remmember.

Ellsy Tanners is correct and they are easy to change, they cost more than £20 now but they are on Ebay

Do not oil them

Why is that. Is there an amplifier on the R230 one or is it a different size?

They are a totally different fitment, your 129 has a mast which recoils into the motor and linked direct to the radio by a aerial lead, the 230 is just a small end pice which the signal is then amplified by a seperate amplifier unit.

Shame because it would look well smart

I thought so too. I'm glad you told me that because I was going to buy one on tinternet.

Damn!

If you get a replacement mast, let us know and we,ll guide you through it, wont take a jiffy!!

Thats if you cant get a nice guy at the dealership to do it for you, we are often sucker's for a pretty face!!!!

Sounds like I'm gonna have to pay for it then.

Look at the very top of the mast. It will have something written on it (ie h04). This will be needed when ordering new mast.
