    £9-12 isn't cheap?

    TBH, I don't imagine it's worth your time searching for anything cheaper.

    is there any chance car insurance would cover it?

    i'm not working at the moment and £9 is a big chunk of my money!

    Even if they did cover it, its a silly thing to lose NCB for!

    £9 sounds a good price IMO

    Get a job - seriously.

    If you can't afford £9 for a car aerial, can you really afford to pay for running a car?

    Goto your local ASDA or tescos, find a Vectra and acquire a second hand aerial ... sorry well thats what they would do where I live.

    Halfords used to have replacement aerials - got 1 for my Omega from there a darn sight cheaper than the dealer ...

    & I think that you will find that your excess is a bit more than £9 .

    you will have an excess on your insurance, this will be a huge amount more than £9.

    Is it the bee-sting type aerial? Halfords have it for £10
