Foreign Manufacturers - Caution - see general notes - AliExpress is an online retail service based in China and owned by the Alibaba Group. Launched in 2010, it is made up of small businesses in China and other locations, such as Singapore, that offer products to international online buyers. It is the most visited e-commerce website in Russia and was the 10th most popular website in Brazil. It facilitates small businesses to sell to customers all over the world. AliExpress has drawn comparison to eBay, as sellers are independent and use the platform to offer products to buyers. Can be cheap products with discounts, Ads at times can be a little misleading. Quality can at times be questioned.
Note: There will be entries within the diary and workshop to explain some of the purchases, other purchases may be based on cosmetics, spur of the moment requirements and not necessarily vital to the renovation. Some items may be purchase recommendations only; for this particular model of vehicle, however deemed as a good purchase deal within the opinion of the author, only a recommendation based on one's perspective and opinion based on research or experience at the time... this does not guarantee the item has longevity, what does today?
Note: One recommends reading the diary first and then linking to workshop notes to maintain the continuity of the theme...

Fourth One!
Note: May require a lead extension
Note: Will require a lead extension
Supplier sent the wrong aerial 30.08.24 as I have come to expect from a Chinese company, I had expected this from reading a previous review, however; checked this out too late as already ordered. It is more like the diagrammatic aerial below than the one at the top of the page - Not impressed with AliExpress and they have lost future sales from me ...
I am now having to order an extension lead at further expense and time.
Cheap!
Deliberate purchase for
heights
Grommets are useful, so this offer is good
Otherwise they can be expensive if purchased individually
eBay: Grommet for Z3 x1 is normally around £9.53-£20 - silly price
The Question Is 'Will in fit depth-wise?'
Answer Pending
Note: Other makes height differences is not so obvious
Check Heights
Same Connector as original Factory mine was not deleted and therefore gives me a spare as can use the already installed one - not anymore with the wrong one received! Incorrect Order

Sigh!
It just didn't fit length wise....in a Z3
