Mornin you Birty dastards..2 questions..
Has anyone changed the retracatable ariel motor on a ZJ ,is it hard..easy..or a dastard to do ?,think some gearing must have worn out as it will not now fully extend.
Do I REALLY need to keep the CAT installed.?

Power antenna is pretty straightforward. The wiring plugs in under the dash near the pedals. A genuine Jeep one is about £300 though.
Your Jeep will fail the MoT test if you remove it unless it was first registered before 1st August 1993.

Mike

my god.....you can fail an MoT for removing the power aerial :shock:

Only joking presume you meant if you remove the Cat.  I also thought there were issues with the sensors and it confusing the engine management system.

Ther will be a plastic liner under the wing, they're usually secured with push in plastic 'fur tree' rivets.
