The roof-mounted aerial on my car has come adrift-the alloy mounting has cracked. Is the aerial connection standard? I have a replacement which has a 5mm.bolt to secure it.
Any advice gratefully recieved.

I wonder what the car is Peter?

Many of the Peugeot/Citroens I've sorted have either had identical fittings or ones that could be adapted to swap between cars.

Not sure about other makes.

Thanks, David.
The car is a Pug.305 Estate, -the replacement aerial(50p.from a boot sale,new and boxed)is made by 'Der Grune Punkt'.
I'll have a go at fitting it tomorrow.
Regards,
Peter.
P.S. I don't have the code for the fitted radio, and will need to change the battery soon. Is there a simple way to maintain a current during the changeover to prevent the code security activating?

The easiest way to maintain power is to feed from another car or battery via the cigar lighter.

I have a device that does this with led's to ensure the correct feeds before you disconnect.

Very useful.

I've never quite figured out HOW these memory savers work - do they actually 'back feed' a 12V supply to the radio/clock etc via the ciggy lighter connection?
Seems slightly dodgy to me, esp with todays multiplexed computer controlled cars
