2004 2.5SE Estate; took the aerial off to go through the car wash (I know, sacrilege but with 4 cars haven't always got the time to do it manually) and after replacing the aerial the radio is not picking up anything, just shash.
Any ideas before I ask how to take the roof lining out?
Ta.

I guess that nobody has had this problem before but it fixed itself so that's a result.
Now have to look at the dent in the driver's door where a deer ran into me yesterday.
Quite an exciting drive, narrowly missed a blackbird, a pigeon and two dozy women pedestrians who weren't looking where they were going when I was pulling out; no spatial awareness whatsoever.

I lied, radio still not picking up much unless there is a really strong signal.
Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks Rob, fairly obvious place to start I suppose; where did you get yours from?

Ok, excellent. I'm away at sea at the moment, I'll order one when I get home.
