Right lets start this off. My car is the Amazing 2.0TDI VRs Octavia on an 08 plate which is the pre facelift :).

 

It has become such an issue my aerial that I have just given up the fight and thought lets get this changed.  My question to you guys and girls is has anyone done this? is it as easy as in screwing it, taking it out and replacing the new on and feeding the wires?  Has anyone done a how to on this subject or even a video?  My main concern is the roof lining and not being able to get it back correctly.

 

Also which aerial do people recommend so I can start looking into getting this done asap??

 

Many thanks in advance

Why change the aerial wire?  A quick continuity test will tell you if it's OK.  Would save a lot of hassle.

 

A new and compatible aerial should just screw in to the existing mounting.

I have tried this before posting. It is stuck and doesn't want to come off lol 

probably the amp not the screw on bit of the aerial. Google it and you'll find a Briskoda link

The aerial screw shank is only soft brass. Break the old one off, then drill out the bit left in the mount & use a screw extractor.

Noticed the reception on my aerial at times is a little fluffy, fine at others, but mainly on stations that wouldn't be national such as LBC: you guys reckon it's likely it's the base or that it's more likley to be weather on that day, etc.?

I have no MW reception. Rubbish. Will give above a go. Thanks Mike
