Jamesy Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Right this is a bit of a strange and sudden one. When i got in my car at lunchtime the ariel made the loudest noise ever while going up and for about 30 seconds after. Then when turning car off the horrible bloody noise again of the ariel motor but it stayed up. Now everytime today i turn the car on or off it happens and the ariel wont go down unless i push it.

RobSheffield Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Noisy motor that puts the aerial up would be my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrar Jabbar Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) Sounds like stripped teeth of the the mast string / ribbon, replacement mast from Toyota is pretty cheap and easy to replace.

Mike Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Sounds like stripped teeth of the the mast string / ribbon, replacement mast from Toyota is pretty cheap and easy to replace. I got quoted £190... I just got the garage to disconnect the wire.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrar Jabbar Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I got quoted £190... I just got the garage to disconnect the wire.. That would be for a complete aerial, right? The mast on it's own is approx £30 if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I'll be removing my aerial and motor from mine soon if you want mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 It's easier to replace the whole thing, bought a second hand aerial off a forum member for £25, and took about half an hour to fit it. Simples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
