Bee Sting Ariel

[Anonymous]

My ariel on my mr-s has died.

So it kind of looks like a remote control car.
 I've heard people taking about bee sting ariels? are they better? Where do you get them from!

It's not as simple as just changing the aerial, you'll need to swap out quite a few bits to be able to use a smaller aerial. IIRC Lord Takuban over on SC used to sell these kits a few years ago (certainly that's where I got mine from), but I wouldn't do it again as the reception was terrible. However bad the OEM looks, it still worked very very well.

Personally I'd either purchase a new OEM aerial or get one from a breakers, but I wouldn't get a smaller one.

smaller aerial will be naff for stuff liek Radio 2, I suspect that will not be an issue though

Had mine replaced recently at the local "AA" centre - was 200 quid all in!!  Lucally I have a warrenty direct warrenty so it cost me 25 quid.

I'm in the exact same situation!

just debating on whether to buy myself but postage is a lot and then if the customs clock it and slap import tax thats more but here is the site you've heard so much about from what i can gather and it is a direct replacement from the looks of it   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

shipping is $41.65 unless you get two and sell me one its $55.30 for 2

Would people be interested in a group buy???

You can buy a manual aerial from MrT.

The main mast is Y86309-17100, the plastic thing is Y86392-17110, and black whippy aerial is Y86309-35100. As of 3+ years ago, the cost was £29, £8.50 and £25 resp

You don't need the black whippy aerial if you can find something else you prefer. Just make sure its got the same thread.

There is a guide on here by me which shows how to fix the aerial when the middle plastic bit snaps - you could always follow this as the aerial will be shorter when you have done it anyway.
