Mine's a '98 156 2.0TS, so I guess the aerial make-up should be fairly
similar. I can kind of get MW, but you have to strain to listen to it. May
well be that transmitter strength is the problem as I live in Cornwall.
Guess I should be thankful for mains electricity . Still, my previous crap
Renault with a standard "stick" aerial never had a problem. Would still like
to know of any alternatives to the rear window version.
