It could be time for a decent new aerial...
Hard to beat a full length stainless steel aerial.

I had this problem with mine. I tried a few different pu sealants and even ct1 and tek7. It took ages for the rustoleum to dry on all of them. So I'd put a primer on first.

I have an AEF as well. Several thousand miles so far and still running well.
I think you can fit a turbo to them but not sure whats involved in doing that.

I fitted a 1.9d aef engine to replace my old 1.6d cs engine. I bought the new engine for 100 euros. I just fitted a new crank oil seal and transferred over all of the other bits from my cs. I'm very happy with it, especially after changing my tyres and rims to give a 10 percent increase in size. Lik...

That's seriously impressive. I made my own using veroboard from maplin, but this just takes it to another level completely!

Pretty happy with my 1.9d AEF engine. Good fuel economy, not much to go wrong and it'll move you along at a good speed if you fit bigger wheels...

I mounted my 10v regulator on a separate small circuit board (veroboard) attached to the top surface of the clocks. I have it mounted on those little green screw terminals so its easy to replace. It does get a bit warm, but nothing terrible. Biggest danger is blowing it up by shorting out the wrong ...

Yeah thats one of the reasons I got the lechler stuff. It sands much better than Jotun jotamastic and topcoat paint sticks to it better.

I would go with epoxy primer and use two coats of it. Lechler 29107 is good and has a self etching component in it as well..

I've just fitted 10 percent bigger tyres to mine. 205 70 r16. It means that in top gear for example at 65mph, your engine revs are a bit lower so its easier on the engine. Makes it more driveable on motorways and enables you to get into the fast lane and overtake things! Its not a massive difference...

On mine I have merc 16 inch alloys. ET33, they fit straight on without spacers. Just need to fit longer studs and the vw nuts are the right size. So all I had to buy was: 10x conversion studs for front. 10x standard vw nuts for front. 10x longer wheel studs for rear. The hardest bit was fitting the ...

Hi all. Been searching long and hard for a set of alloys and have come across these https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/222898460841?rt=nc&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908110712%26meid%3D13189b5d0dd54776a1eda6f1feb07357%26pid%3D100677%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D30%26sd%3D323209906514%26...

Weight of person in newtons (W) 11 stone = 685 newtons 12 stone = 747 newtons 13 stone = 809 newtons 14 stone = 871 newtons 15 stone = 934 newtons Hub Nut Torque(HNT) is 542nm (400 ft lbs) Distance = HNT ÷ W E.g for a 12 stone person... Distance = 542÷747 = 0.72 So if you stand on an extension pole(...

I'd be interested to find out how and why the AEF failed. I have one too!
