I fitted a Sharan aerial to mine and lost reception for nearly every station but Radio 1.  Picked up a '10 plate Polo aerial for a tenner off ebay, and I'd say reception is better than with the original.  They're a bit longer than the Sharan one, but a mile better imo.  You can have my Sharan one for the cost of postage if you want it.
