and did it cure the problem of bad reception ?

22 mm spanner for an ariel base JHC !!

thank you sir

is this also the ariel booster ?

would this be the base i am after ? eBay UKGENUINE REPLACEMENT ROOF AERIAL ANTENNA MAST BASE FOR SKO...It has a single coax connection with a RAKU 2 type connector. This aerial is ideal for cars that have had aerials snapped off or stolen. You might also need this aerial as your current aerial is no...

thanks for that mate will have a look when i get 5 mins

got the factory head unit but radio reception is a bit hit and miss. even on all major stations is there any sort of factory reset or is there another problem im not seeing here ?

the bad section was pretty close to the body maybe only an inch left of it before it disappeared inside the hatch and was running out of time so was literally a quick fix to get it working again . plus it was bloody cold and i dont think the soldering iron wouldve held up and done a decent job but hey at least its working for winter

got the old volt meter out checked voltage at fuse all good pulled the trim from around the window to check voltage at rear window .... nothing jumped straight into the loom and found a broken wire in the loom from the body to the rear hatch mate ... nice easy and cheap fix ... i was starting to panic thinking it was the actual screen

found the problem .. quick fix quite happy with that coming up to winter !

2007 scout .as the title says have checked fuse ok HRW relay i can hear clicking when i activate the HRW switch ... HRW switch illuminates ... are these car prone to having broken wires in the tailgate to body rubber grommet ?. Everything else on the tail gate is working lights wiper washers etc ....

all of a sudden the rear speakers have stopped working both at the same time .... any common faults to check for ? would it be head unit /amp related or broken wires in the body grommets

left the car parked up for a few days as i was using the classic , went to start the skoda the ignition key wouldnt turn , steering lock wouldnt engage . managed to get it to turn have sprayed some lube in it ... ( i know i should use graphite powder) . its worked but when you turn the key to 1st accessory position its stiff but then when you go to start engine its ok ... its has stuck while trying to work the lube into the lock a few times today . this sounds like the barrel is on the way out to me ?. is it possible to get another ignition lock matched to the doors and is removing the ignition lock gonna be a PITA

good build but not very good off road discipline from any of the drivers ... not leaving enough space between cars , and when clearing an obstacle then stopping right at the top of a hill so the following car has no where to go if they get into trouble ... no 2 way radios for communication ..... and this is how accidents happen

wearing on inner edge means the car is toeing out

ive gone with the nextbase 522 as its removable , some very light fingered people around brum

07 scout developed very bad oil leak ... the suspect was the rocker cover gasket. Has been replaced twice by my mechanic who I trust . He took the car home last night I picked it up this morning as he drove it to work. Only a 5 min journey for him . I drove to work 29 miles parked up left it.drove home tnight pulled on the drive could smell oil had a look under neath and its drenched .. . What else are known culprits ??

Looks like a flash bit of kit . Think my hard wire kit was only 11 quid so it's pretty straight forward

you think it might be worth going the HID route then ??..

would i be better off with LED bulbs ?

well a bit of a country lane drive and yes there is an improvement no one flashing me etc so all good . would like to go the HID route but not a big fan of blinding on coming cars . Next up will be the light bar behind the grille

what sort of set up is that mate ?

Just fitted it how I wanted it... I hate wires all over the place

Yep got the projectors in it have just fitted some 150+ in so just waiting for it to go dark for a road test
