Quoteonly problem with digital dashboards .....reminds me of MG maestro's and Montego's  :o

Never driven those, bit old for me  ;) ;D

For me the digi dash is retro cool. Including the ariel that poppes up out of the back wing when the radio is turned on.

How cool is that!  :D

That is called an electric aerial Tunnie!  ;D

You youngsters won't have seen these as you will just know about these new fangled bee sting things and the others integrated into the rear screen.

Kids eh?  ::)

Im amazed it still works tho....could of been replaced i guess .... they were forever going wrong/getting jammed.

You could add another on the other wing.....iirc some of the older Jags used to have two leccy aerials...not sure quite why tho..apart from style  :-/

fine, unless incorrectly/poorly aligned, and some one shuts the boot while the aerial is up.....    

crunch, one snapped aerial.

(my wife. bless her, snapped 3 of mine (1 on senator A , 2 on senator B's ) until  i sussed out how to get them to miss each other )


nice car Tunnie....   even WITH a digital dash....  ;)....  I'm an analogue fan at heart..... ;)

Ah yes BUT, in my opinion, the reception from a proper aerial is FAR better than the rear screen ones.  At least it is in my experience.

Talk of aerials reminds me of a Tommy Cooper classic.

"Two aerials met on the roof and fell in love.  The wedding service was rubbish but the reception was brilliant!"  ;D ;D

The old ones are the best I reckon.
