Isaac Hunt Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Our MGZR run around is suffering from very poor radio reception. I thought it was the aeriel to set Lead, so liberated one from down the yard along with the headligning and stopped it all over. Didn't make anth diff and I don't want to drop the headlining again. Anyone any experience of these https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F173310682387 Fit it up behind the mirror, but only if they are not a pile of shite.

UltraWomble Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Used one years ago and it was "meh"OK on local / strong signals but soon started to drop out where an outside aerial would not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timewaster Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Pretty useless in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorniteIdentity Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Save yourself the money and the heartbreak - things like that are a gimmick. Car aerials use the body as a 'ground plane'; in laymans terms it's part of the antenna system and vital for really good reception. That is why cars with the aerial at the front (above your head) tend to receive signals from behind better, and vice versa. So i'd buy one of those extending 5 piece masts from eBay, drill it into the top of the front wing and run that fresh length of coax it comes with straight into the headunit. You will be amazed.

Wingz123 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Ive found these to be quite good aerials...according to my daughters... Why o why o why does it display it sideways when I took it the right way up and it is the right way up on my phone!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaac Hunt Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 Well that has answered that. Shame it hasn't got a snapped off wing aerial on it, could have shoved a coat hanger innit old skool style. I'll drop the headlining again and have another mess with it, a proper mess this time, clean it all up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiperCub Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Ah, the custom made coat-hanger aerial, haven't seen one of those since the 80's!!! Anyway........ if your ZR has the same type of aerial on the roof just above the A-pillar as my 214 does then we have the same problem. Reception is crap, tried almost everything except replacing & repositioning the bloody thing as BI suggests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
