ok ive asked seller what year was it from and he doesnt know
can any of you guys identify this leather wheel . i may bid for it for mine ..

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... TQ:GB:1123

looks the same as my d8 one but its not the best picture in the world

ye ive asked him to send me sum closer up pics so hopefully sum1 on here can tell me..

Plod or bigcheif were are you i need your opinions

I was thinking it looked like my D9 one - but it's really hard to say without the airbag......

Maybe the pics in Steve Earwig's Com2000 howto would help?

ahh ye will look there now ..

it certainly looks different from steves D9 wheel ..

It's not com2000 'cos it's not got all the gubbins in the centre or contacts for the horn, it could be early D9 or D8 (which aren't the same...)

ok cheers steve. if i get it for 5 quid since the listing is sh*t it will be worth it either way .

can always sell it on .

Reckon it'll be a D8 and an early one at that. (Anything newer wouldn't have got to Dornoch yet).


* takes cover *

I say D8
Edge of the airbag at the top is a lot angular on the D8, which would fit the recesses of that wheel
Also, I believe that on the 2 bottom spokes of the wheel, it is flat on the D8, and has almost a ridge on the D9

cheers guys . i will place a bid.. i'm just waiting for the seller to reply with the condition of the leather wheel.
i've asked for more piktures ....

The wheel I bought was off a D8 coupe ( tad smaller in diameter ) and that wasn't overly brilliant, but a bit of Liquid Leather scuffmaster did the trick
Worked out ok for me, as had plenty to use on the seats as well, but as you have rapier seats don't you?, the cost of buying some may be prohibitive

how much is it mate ? i could always use it on my sofa in the house ....

where did you buy it from ?

I like 406 steering wheels because they are thin like a Rolls Royces, so you can have a relaxed pose without tensing up the arm muscles.

The GTV was like a sports car steering wheel, but you ended up sitting like a gremlin.

well my maximum bid was £16 and i won it for £15.

£15 isnt to bad for a leather wheel. thats if it fits
