Fred dynamic has changed his wheel for an aftermarket one without an airbag.

Drop him a message but hes away on holiday at the moment so dont expect an instant reply.

Its not a huge job removing the wheel but you have to remember to solder in a 1.8 to 6.2ohm (I think thats the value) resister onto the airbag wiring to stop an airbag warning light comming on and remember to disconnect the battery for 1/2 hr before removing the airbag just incase. Or least remember to pull the fuse and wait two senconds for it to discharge.

Ill email you the document if you want saying how to remove the stearing whel PM me your email address.
