No problem Stan. If you haven't already found it, their website is Here . Yeah thats what i did Rich. They are located in West Sussex so would be abit too far for me to bring it to them Still have to think about retrimming the handbrake lever. Not looking forward to that as its a nightmare to remove.

Well wheel is back on now and as far as i can tell tell, the red matches well . The rest just looks so glossy in comparison now. Baz, its £130 for just the wheel. Gearknob is another £20 + £5 (embroidery).

how do you get the wheel off the car without setting off the airbag?

I see the guide says to leave the battery disconnected for 10-15mins but I usually leave the battery disconnected for an hour before working on removing the wheel as that is the general guide time given by most manufacturers when working on air bag systems. Maybe the guide should be altered just to be on the safe side . Baz

I usually don't even wait Baz! An hour does seem like a long time? Your brave ,I just don't fancy getting a broken nose! Sometimes I'll maybe just give it half an hour before working on the Coop's steering wheel but in most cases your supposed to wait at least an hour after disconnecting the battery so that any capacitors can be allowed to discharge before you go in disconnecting plugs and stuff.

I just close my eyes and turn my face to one side... Yeah i just didn't know it takes an hour to discharge the capacitor. Most places mention 30mins. Anyway, I've changed to guide to say between 30mins to an hour Cheers Kelv . I think most of the manuals are just being overly cautious to avoid any court action,so we might as well do the same . Baz
