hey mate, it was my thread.

out of interest of the club it was taken down so not to implicate anyone as there were too many references to the workshop's possible name. the workshop and/or its representative contacted Christian (PranK) to make sure it was all in order - its much easier to take it down than to have to worry about what is said in the thread, it was getting a little off topic anyway.

it doesn't bother me, i will just start another thread with progress of my claim - anyone wanting further details can email me on joe.rulz at hotmail.com to keep it away from the forums.

I'm eager to find out how you go with your case. I look forward to the new thread to see how it goes. Good Luck mate.

When all is said and done I'd appreciate a PM.

I've been through a divorce and I have been through a rebuild gone bad. Financially and emotionally they're both costly.

There's no winner and do not expect justice.

I hope you were able to read my last post, prior to the thread being removed.

Advice I gave may tip the scales in your favour.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
