Default SatNav Aerial Faulty ?

Had my car for a month or so now and SatNav not working - picking up no satellites when I go into service mode.Aerial lead in boot has heatshrink joint about 6" from connector - wondering if this is normal or the reason for no signal ?

Where can I buy a replacement aerial and are any recommended ?

BTW MK3 SatNav and the red LED does go off after opening boot so think(hope) actual unit is OK

Plenty on ebay.
Just make sure they have the SMB connector.

They some times put what seems to be heatshrink on wire and looms for no obvious reason. If it has been repaired there inside the shrink, you will be able to feel the irregularity of the joint through the sleaving. As suggested by Hans, you can buy magnetic antennas for not much money on ebay, to fit the GPS. Look at Item number: 290528443780 £4.50 delivered.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
