How To Remove The Aerial?

[NFS 32]

I have tried to remove the airal from my 205 however I cannot set a way to do this. Is the a guide? Cheers

i have not done a 205 but would think you remove the interior light and undo the bolt that holds it on from the inside

asuming its like a 306

humm i couldnt see a bolt thats why im not sure. the reading panel is off and i can see the underneath of the ariel just dont know how it comes off without breaking it.

Been a while since I've done this, but iirc there's a metal cap over the bottom of the aerial which you can gently lever off then an 7-8 mm nut securing the aerial in place, just unhook the aerial lead off the stud and pull it out.

Consider a wee bit of silicone as you put it back on, those seals don't like to be messed with too much

 

assuming it's going back on of course...

James is right about the metal cover over the bolt. this usually is a water trap and results in the nut and bolt rusting and it often sheers when you try and undo it. New bases are very cheap from Peugeot. Make sure it doesn't spin when trying to take it off and ruin the paint.

Okay cool do you know the part numbers for the Ariel base? Cueers

Ask for an aerial base or look i up on Service box.

From memory it's about £11.

dont need silicon it will seal if you get it tight enough

[NFS 32]

Thanks guys, i plan on putting alittle smidge of sealent on most of the parts that are sealing something when i put it back together as the last thing i want is to have to take things apart again.

service box says reference is 0000971614 and price is 8.14 GBP

I bought Peugeot part number 6561.10 for 3.28 GBP +vat iirc

[NFS 32]

and is that the base of the aerial

This is going back years, but I ordered two of that part number and received 2x aerial bases, yes. I checked through some of my parts info when I saw the price you posted up there^ and thought it was a little steep.

 

You may wish to double check with the Peugeot parts guy when you order as I couldn't say if things are prone to change or not, but I believe that number will get you a smart aerial base:)

I seem to recall ages ago on here being advised putting some lithium grease (what you lubricate bicycle headsets with) inside the aerial mounting cap and then fixing back together. This will act as a rust inhibitor for the aerial bits and keep the water out... but you want to tighten the thing quite well taking care etc.

 

Whilst writing this is does sound a little at odds with sense, but I did this on the sorrento 205 in my avatar and everything was fine.
