    New Steering Wheel

    The current "Nardi" steering wheel is a little large for my tastes. I would like a smaller one.

    However, as it has an incorporated Airbag, we can not change it without replacing it with one that also has an airbag.

    Has anyone done this ?

    Can't replace without an Airbag as it will invalidate our MOT equivalent.

    Steering wheel needs attention

    Whilst we are on the subject of steering wheels, does anyone know how I can repair a grey patch on mine that looks like the leather has been worn away. I think that the previous owner must have had a ring on their hand and has driven with their hand on the top of the steering wheel all the time.

    It has left a grey, worn patch that I have been trying to get rid of. I have tried leather restorer cream, etc but to no evail. Anybody had a similar problem with worn leather?

    Does anyone have the part code for just the steering wheel and a rough estimate on how much they would cost from a supplier?

    I think that I am going to have to replace mine. The starting bid for the steering wheel on e-bay was £250 and it says that it hasn't met the minimum bid amount yet, that was getting me a little worried. I take it that the steering wheel with airbag is an expensive item!

    Purely as guess but I reckon £750 'ish would cover the items on eBay ?
