Well my W460 passed it's MOT first time, but could do with an new aerial as the motor has given up the ghost and I'm tired of listening to a crackly radio!!

I have been recommended a Hirschmann, but don't know where to start.

Any suggestions or alternatives are welcome.

Thanks

Sam

Re: New Aerial & Motor for W460

Hello Sam,

Hirschmann aerials are of good quality, they are serviceable in that, the mast if damaged can be replaced without replacing the motor. 

I do advice enveloping the motor in a protective bag to protect from dirt and water under the wing. I have two url's of interest;

For anyone interested I went with a Hirschmann Aerial in the end. Really quiet and works really well.

The aerial we removed was kept in place with a block of wood!!!
