				My radio aerial won't fully retract. So wanted to know where I might find a replacement. Preferably in the UK. Anyone got one they've stripped off a car and have it sitting in a workshop?

				It might be worth taking  the old one out & give the working a clean & lubricate, I have revived several over the years by doing this, although if the gear teeth have worn in  then it is probably US.   I replaced mine with a generic one,  I recall  I had to change the earth or something else that was very simple. It was a spare I had bought for a Shogun

				I removed mine completely and put a rubber grommet in its place. I debated putting one of those DAB aerials on the inside of the car as they are quite subtle. But I hate radio, so left it out and just play CD's/bluetooth etc  

  hahah

I removed mine completely, welded the hole and put an elford spoiler without a hole on the rear.  Just play the bridgy sound.
