TaffyTim 6 Posted October 20, 2006 Now its finally started to rain down here in sunny bournemouth my ariel is leaking into the courtesy light. I have taken off the fittings and found the nut to be totally rusted: I have a new ariel on order and want to check that this nut pictured is a screw nut, as it only has 2 flat edges. Or is it the pull off cap talked about in this thread: http://forum.205gtidrivers.com/index.php?s...c=26753&hl= Whichever it is it is very corroded, the hole you can see opened up with no pressure being applied, and a good volume of water (5 - 10 ml) ran out when punctured. Also there appears to be a phillips screw to the right of it (in the above picture) will i lneed to take that out first? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adnic69 0 Posted October 20, 2006 Pull that cap off and the nut is under it. Be sure to seal the base of the new unit or it will leak again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaffyTim 6 Posted October 20, 2006 (edited) ok thanks, it is a pull off cap. Will get some silicone sealant, when new one goes on. What about that phillips screw, it looks a little suspect to me. Edited October 20, 2006 by TaffyTim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted October 21, 2006 I think the screw is a location screw in the aerial to stop it spinning round on the main hole, iirc there's often a smaller hole in the roof forward of the main one so would make sense. Although lots don't still have this screw i've found, although could have just been removed before i presume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feb 47 Posted October 21, 2006 Did you just remove the plastic surround of the lights to access it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaffyTim 6 Posted October 22, 2006 Yes feb, you have to lever out the lights and the unit is held on by 2 screws, very easy to access Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
