        yes thanks, did it last week, but ive got an avant so i don't know if it's the same. i had to remove the rear courtesy light, unscrew the nut that holds the aerial in place and you can then remove the aerial.

          I did this a short while back as I had a bit of a leak from there.

          Easy as 1 2 3

          Ready.

          1. Pull out the light from one side first and then the other + pull to one side and remove the ariel lead.
          2. Get a ratchet with long extension on and squeeze it around the nut.
          3. Undo and remove.

          Attatchment is the reversal but you will need someone to stand outside and hold the damn thing still while you tighten it up.

          Whats up you got a leak or replacing it?

            Cheers i couldn't see it the first time i was out before i post, seems my base is OEM as the seal that holds the wires up hadn't been broken and i couldn't see the nut.

            I was replacing but just seen the the coax connection between the OEM and my replacement is different

            Trip to Halfrauds to see if i can find something to adapt.
