Antenna issues:

After removing the outer cover I removed the chrome cap where the internal nylon cable is wound. Found it to be jam packed with rust and rubbish, cleaned most of it out with a screwdriver and then ground the rest out with a dremel grinder. If you try this wear a glove in the hand that’s holding the cap the heat from the grinding transmits through the thin steel very quickly. Reassembled with grease and now it retracts fully, found this link with photo's after I did mine may be of some use.
