Mine\'s currently bust too.  The plastic cable inside the aerial has snapped and is now somewhere inside the motor.

I got a new mast from WGT

Just got to fit it now (he says knowing it will be gathering dust in the garage for the next few years :) ).

Their website is as below.

The mast only was quite cheap but the motor was going to cost an arm and a leg.  I went for the mast only as I could hear the motor churning away when I turned on the radio.

Let me know how you get on.

I got a replacement unit (generic fit) from the local "motormania".  I used the existing parts for putting it through the wing.  The only difficult part is running the 3 new wires to the head unit (do not attemp hot-wiring into existing loom!).
