Replacement aerial base

Hello all, could anyone help please? I've search this forum and other forums without luck.

I've snapped off my aerial, below the whip, so I have to replace the base. The XUC500150 base on mine is no longer available in this or other any other country. The part has been superseded by XUC100832, but it's a slightly different shape (rounded at the front, not square) so the rubber base doesn't fit underneath it. I can't find a rubber base for the new part either! I'm sure the headlining will get wet without one, so I'm not doing that. Any help much appreciated!

Could you not get what you want from a breakers? Its not an item that would wear.

I recently got one from these guys.

The shape of the base doesn't matter because it comes with a new seal. At least the one I got did.

I just used a rear roof mount ariel from Halfords on mine. Fits perfectly.

Thanks for the suggestions. LR Direct have sold out - you must have had the last one Nodge68. That looks good if I can't find one JC600. I'll try the scrap yard first, thanks GrumpyGel. I don't like those online scrap yard things, you get so many emails offering you stuff you didn't ask for. I'll have to put some miles in! Thanks again!

If I remember correctly, Rover 25/45 or MG ZR/ZS have the same ariel base.

Do yourself a favour and get a digital radio with a windscreen aerial. You can listen to BBC6 music then

That only works properly if there isn't a heated front screen fitted. Or you live in Cornwall, where mobile DAB is pointless.

DAB Not in the Welsh Marches
And don't get me started on Mobile reception!

Just wanted to say thanks again JC600, the MG ZR aerial was spot on!
