Aint getting NOTHING on it when searching for stations, its the standard one that uses rear window I think.

Any where I can check, or do I install a bee sting one, or any other options?

Cheers

 

At some motorfactors they do a small aerial that simple sticks to the inside of the screen, not to expensive either.

 

step away from that idea

 

bttt, anyone give me any idea on repairing the original one or maybe telling me where the loom goes from > to.

 

On a sierra it goes up inside drivers A piller, accross roof and into the boot lid and finally down near the boot lock to a signal amplifier, I expect the S2 is the same

Check amp in boot lid is not dead, and do a end to end test on cable as they break near the boot hinge

I fitted a MK4/5 (cant remeber which) escort ariel to my old sierra

mine went the oler day stu
i got one from the scrap yard like ratty said the cable runs from the tail gate to the radio via the roof lining
first of all make sure you connect the airel amp wire to the rear of the headunit
im sure i did this on that car for ian

 

ian took all the stereo stuff out, i fitted mt new kenwood mp3 last night.

ian said he could never get stations either.

might just get an aftermarket one later and see wot its like.

 

ok mate you need to change the airel wire
do put a bee sting one on

 

nah

 

Stu.H, mate did u connect the remote turn on for the ariel? this needs to be connected before the it works? its a white and red striped one in the loom?

Spot on Bassboy. This is why mine never worked properly. Now I have a beesting on the roof that I don't really want anymore

 

Oranoco, typical...mine never worked but worked with the old stereo so i was determinned to get it working before i left the garage that day LOL

The previous owner had butchered the stereo wiring when he fitted a headunit and I only found the wire by chance when doing something else

And of course once it was all sorted I decided to strip the car and stick a cage in it so you can't here anything other than the engine and road noise now

 

hehe

bought a window one from halfrauds and fitted that.

sorted.

 

Stu.H, which window have you put it on?
