===A Cheaper Option===

A cheap alternative is to line engine cover (around the region of the aerial mount) with Aluminium foil Duck Tape, available from most DIY shops etc (http://www.tapes-direct.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=200&products_id=934 ). Make sure that the adheasive on the tape is conductive like this stuff [http://www.duckproducts.com/products/detail.asp?catid=1&subid=4&plid=17 Duck Tape]

Removed engine cover, removed aerial mount, clean the inside. Starting from the central spine of the engine cover (and the aerial mounting hole) add several strips. Additional strips can be added around the edge of the vents and near the locking mechanism.



Note from the pics below, that the nut holding the aerial mount has good contact with the tape. Also running a new earth wire from the base of the aerial to the battery (negative terminal) or a better ground connection (near the roll over hoop) may help. Looks like some people have improved reception by wrapping ali foil round the aerial cable as well.
