You sure that was an FM antenna?
Monopole - Half the lengt of the Dipole. Monopole needs a ground surface (Typically a copper plate, or mesh, or regular ground, or car chassis)
Dipole - this is 2 Monopoles, that work together, but in 180degrees of each other. Each monopole is the others "ground/negative"

I did buy a short replacement from Halfords today, Turned out it was still an inch too long, but I did notice that the FM reception was worse, so that is back in the box to be returned.
I really appreciate all your help and am taking all your comments on board.

On the box it just says car aerial replacement whip. It is made by Autoleads. Just assumed it was an FM replacement.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI will have to loosen the headlining again and look what sort of connections are at the base, It will probably be Friday now before I can do that. But this item would be just what I want, swivel down for the garage, upright for the road.

I had a sharks fin aerial on my SAAB and while I didn't have DAB it was used for the built in Sat Nav
Shark aerial link
Read through the feedback on that one,(someone had DAB issue with it), but you could fit an almost invisible seperate window mounted aerial - my neighbour has one in her Jimny (from Halfords) it works very well. Just a thought
