2The switch is located towards the left-hand
rear of the cylinder block on SOHC models
(see illustration), towards the right-hand rear
of the cylinder block on CVH models and on
the right-hand side of the cylinder block,
between the core plugs, on DOHC models.3Disconnect the wiring from the switch
terminal, then unscrew and withdraw the
switch. Be prepared for some oil spillage.
4Clean the threads of the switch and its seat
before refitting.
5After refitting, run the engine and check for
oil leaks around the switch, then stop the
engine and check the oil level, topping-up if
necessary.

2Remove the right-hand side trim panel from
the luggage compartment.
3Working outside the vehicle, unscrew the
nut and remove the spacer and seal from the
base of the aerial.
4Working inside the luggage compartment,
either unscrew the aerial bracket securing
screw and slide the bracket from the aerial
tube, or pull the base of the aerial from the
rubber bush in the bracket, as applicable (see
illustration).
5Ensure that the aerial is fully retracted, then
pull it through the hole in the bodywork into
the luggage compartment (see illustration).
6The aerial lead may be a push-fit in the
base of the aerial, or may be secured by a
knurled nut. Disconnect the aerial lead and
where applicable, disconnect the wiring from
the electric motor. Note that the aerial lead
runs through the roof. If it is necessary to
renew the lead, it may prove easier to leave
the old lead in place and run a new one under
the carpet. Follow existing wiring runs where
possible.

front pillar to the radio unit. Renewal is
straightforward, but the front section of the
headlining must be released for access and a
length of string should be tied to the end of
the aerial lead before removal to aid routing
when refitting.
17The aerial rod can be renewed by simply
unscrewing it from the base.
