Steering wheel change

Was thinking of changing my worn out steering wheel and saw this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RANGE-ROVER-SPOR...564572d811

What do you all think?

On my last HST Sport LR changed the steering wheel under warranty with the soft leather one and the quality was spot on. Not sure what one your on about dazzagt ? The one on my autobiography now is amazing and all original !

Sounds like the same one, soft leather .. I meant the crappy old original one that came with it, harder leather ( very 80"s )

Yes mate. But tried to put them on here but kept failing. But will try again tonight. It's a beauty but the HST had more of a presence about it. But the autobiography is growing on me.

I think the wheel was delivered today, going to be fitted on Monday/Tuesday.
I will take a photo of it tommorow in the flesh and post on site then take one after its fitted to the vehicle and again post on site.

Mr H,

Wheel looks great, not very soft but has a great feel to it and its a genuine LR part. Hopefully should be in the car by Tuesday then i will post a photo of it (before and after).

Definatley worth changing because the old steering just seems so sticky and rubbery.

2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 Autobiography Fuji White

Hi Aziz - did they supply the whole wheel, ie the centre cover for the airbag too? Also - by the looks of their picture there is the cruise control distance button missing on the top left hand side of the wheel. Is that the case or is the picture wrong.

Cheers
