I've been an impatient putz!

Got my new Nappa and chrome steering wheel, watched the how-to video four times, had the instructions to hand.

Removed the battery negative and left for 10 mins.

First problem:

I cannot get the inner wheel and bag to undo. I put the flat headed tool into the holes and can't find a spring release. The tool goes in and I feel around. I push. Nothing. On either side.

What have I done wrong?

Second problem:

I give up. Reconnect battery. Start engine to check all is well.

And get this! Suspension failure.

Can't help with the first part (which video?), but second part is normal after battery disconnect.

Start car and turn steering wheel lock to lock, Christmas tree lights and messages should disappear, maybe also after a little drive. .

That's a relief.

It was the video on Powerful's website. The YouTube one. Si. <This is my name.

Parts required.
1) Small 6-8 inch Allen head used to remove airbag or a thin blunted off screw driver
IMPORTANT! YOU MUST DISCONNECT THE ROVER BATTERY BEFORE starting this You want to be 90 degrees, perpendicular to the steering column. You want to push in the spring release to pop off the airbag. The photos below show the spring. Inside the steering wheel is a little "guide" that should help you go into the right direction

An update to this:

Got back early from our weekend to get my 110 fettled some more, so headed outside for Take 2.

Found the Allen key method more successful.

Had to call the father-in-law to bring round the correct Torx bit to get the wheel back off and onto the new one. Naturally, my RR was blocking my other cars...

And the end result. I'm really happy with it!

Thanks again for your help, chaps.
