Hi all,
I wonder if you could help?
I had a retrimmed steering wheel fitted last night by a friend of the chap who retrims them (The same wheel Keith fitted to his Dakar MC).
Anyway, the guys who fitted the wheel last night had a couple of issues with the slip ring and the little plastic tab which fits in the centre of the wheel catching when turning the steering wheel.
Basically as I test drove the car to make sure the wheel was straight etc, i got to nearly full lock to the left, the steering went a bit heavy then there was a snapping/click sound and the air bag light pinged on.
My horn doesnt work either now.
The guys said they have the tool to reset the airbag light, however I can't work out why the horn doesnt work now. They are coming back tonight to take a look and to get it sorted, however I guess what I'm looking for is for someone to answer if the standard steering wheels on our MC's are the same as the ones from an M3 Evo (I assume the retrimmed one isnt from an MC).
I hope its just the plastic tab thats broken, not the expensive slip ring (had the tabs from both wheels)?
Anyone got any thoughts, or advice about lining up new wheels and replacing the slip ring etc _ he may have missed the wire off for the horn?
I should have just paid a holding deposit on the wheel and given it to CPC, seeing as the car is going in on monday anyway, but hey thats life!
cheers andrew
