when that happened to me it was the nylon type chain inside side had snapped, so the motor was working but not pushing the nylon to push up the ariel, I bought a new one.

Not sure on the price new as I got a 2nd hand one.
Pretty easy to change just take all the internal boot panels out on that side. I found removing the rear strut bar 1st helped but not sure if its necessary.

I reversed into the garage with the ariel up and it caught a shelf and bent :(

It still goes up and down after some fiddling but now stop about an inch short (again no laughing!) of getting all the way in.

I bought a new aerial for mine, it cost a rip-off £30.
          (And that was the cheapest one in stock)
