New Leather Steering wheels
This guy has over a 100 of these bought one for my 180 look great and feel great slightly thicker then the standard one
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rover-400-414-...3A1|240%3A1318 |
do they fit as standard? or do u need some kind of adapter?
|
Bought one! £15 :happy:
|
Are they not the same as the ones in the 180?
|
just bought one for £15 aswell. Is it zs wheels or mg tf ones. My guess is tf am I right?
|
They fit straight on with no mods fitted one to mine on Sunday

Those are tidy. Slightly different to the standard wheel that was in my mk2, in the way that those ones there have swellings for your thumbs, my old one didnt. Got Smokeys old TF wheel now though and the shape is very similar to that picture. Very easy to fit.

I've bought one, what size is the main steering wheel bolt? 20 minutes to let the charge in the airbag go, I pressume?
|
mine turned up this morning while i was in the shower
Haynes does not say what the size of the bolt is, but it mentions 10mins for SRS to loose its charge.. 20mins seems like a cunning plan tho :) |
Why do i feel the urge to buy one ready for when i get my zs??
|
good man lol. 24 or 32mm?? i cant remember
|
mine came too.
Same size as the original but much better feel to it. Now on the lookout for an MG Airbag. Stephen |
It looks exactly the same as the wheel in my mk ZS, but the one in my car now has gone all shiny really and doesn't feel like a grippy leather wheel. Have those new ones got a nice grippy feel to them?
|
all my airbags needs re-doing next year anyway, so will refit the old module for now and get the lot done in 2010...
yeah it is a lot less slippery than the plastic one i have on atm... admittedly my testing has been holdng it in my hands and pretending, as my car is no where near me to swap them over :D |

these dont need adapters then?
|
straight fit mate
|
Mine should be here soon, bit worried about the airbag giving me one in the face though. :yikes: Is it really as simple as everyone says, and how does the airbag go back into the new wheel?
|
so simple mate.
Park the car with the roadwheels dead ahead, Discon battery for 20 mins just to be safe and let the airbag charge dissipate. undo the 2 torx bolts torx 30 or 35 iirc. Lift off the bag. gently prise off the yellow connector, remove the black plug, careful to keep the rotary coupler in the same position. Undo the 19mm bolt for the wheel, sometimes easier to loosen it off a couple of turns then pull the wheel till it frees, saves getting a wheel in the face :D Then reverse the steps and roberts your mothers brother |
Hopefully it'll be simple then. Fingers crossed!
|
it honestly took me no more than 10 mins once the airbag charge had gone
|
I managed to fit a TF wheel on my own mate and Im a complete nutcase. I will admit I handled the airbag like a case of high explosives though :pirate:
|
I take it the orignal air bags fit on the new wheel?? If so im gonna buy one lol
