How much are they please ?. Brother in laws ED 30 had one on when he got his & they do look good.

I got mine years ago from Parts4Euro but yes that looks like exactly the same one.

I fitted a Sharan aerial to mine and lost reception for nearly every station but Radio 1.  Picked up a '10 plate Polo aerial for a tenner off ebay, and I'd say reception is better than with the original.  They're a bit longer than the Sharan one, but a mile better imo.  You can have my Sharan one for the cost of postage if you want it.

Could I try this?

Sorry parks, my Sharan aerial has already been had by someone else off the forum!
