My electric aerial is not working. I can hear the motor ticking but the aerial will not move up or down. It was giving me problems before but fixed it with WD40.

Are the Mazda MX-5 aerials any different to the 323F?

I've checked the MX-5 forum and they think a replacement aerial mast will do the trick. It appears the teeth on the nylon tooth belt are broken or worn. Mx5-parts sell replacement areal masts for £15.39. Are they compatible

I had the same problem mate.

I could either be the mast, which i believ the mx5 one should be ok. Or it could be the main gear that the motor drives. I had the same problem, opened tit up and found that the main gear was totally worn, I packed it with some thick grease and it was ok as a short term fix.

does it come up and go down ok with some assistance?

Yep. its not jammed. Initially it didn't fully extend. now its no longer moving unless i give it a helping hand. I think I may of forced it and now its decided not to play game.

Did you fix yours?
