The power antenna lead is used only if you have and electric motorised
antenna , that is one that goes up and down when the radio is switched on
and off , like you get on a xj6 jag etc etc.
It is more than likely that you have a bad connection to your actual car
aerial.
I take it that you did plug the aerial connector into the back of the
radio? its easily forgotten.
Hope this helps

Hi Gary, thanks for reply.
I have plugged in the antenna lead, however the connection is far from
clean, and when I removed the old stereo, the aerial plug was (and
still is) covered in a white powdery residue. Any ideas what this is
and how best to rectify?
Thanks
Jamblo

This is not entirely true, as many Pugs (and other makes) use an antenna
with an amp in the base. Don't know if this applies to your 106 as I don't
know the age, but if it has one of these short roof-top aerials with a large
base, then this is probably the case.
Unfortunately, my Haynes books are totally useless when it comes to this
sort of information.

Same here, looked through my Haynes manuel to no avail. It's a 1995 N
106.
