[QUOTE="DooleyG, post: 8657752, member: 675707"] Hi everyone, I'm new here (first post) and I'm also pretty new to tinkering around with my car. Forewarning: I'm UK based! So, I bought a second-hand car almost a year ago and the stereo didn't work, nor did it have an aerial mast. Apparently it fell off. Since I only paid £500 for a well-maintained decent car (Skoda Fabia 2002) I wasn't too fussed. Fast-forward a year and the silence was driving me crazy! I eventually replaced the stereo with a Kenwood (KDC-361U, if anyone's interested), no problems there. However, I thought I may as well go the whole hog, treat myself and get an aerial mast so I can get my fix of The Archers. Not joking. However, my question is this: since the aerial mast has been missing for over a year (maybe longer - I don't know) and there is just a hole in the rubber mount where it used to be, is it likely some damage to the wiring/connection will have occurred through weather damage? Or are there protections against this? If that's the case I'll keep truckin' with just a CD player/aux. Anything more complicated than replacing the mast, such as fiddling with the wiring loom is out of my league. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
