I am after a new wheel for mine as the leather has gone a bit smooth,

I know how to swap it over and am looking to put the Nappa leather one on with the chrome spokes.

I have seen the powerful vid so am up to speed on how to, but i remember reading somewhere on here that the connectors for the heating element differ at some point.....

does anyone know which wheel is a straight swap with the Nappa onto my 2008MY? if not i will be looking at a grained one....

cheers chaps. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I had the steering wheel in my M3 retrimmed by Royal Steering Wheels, they did a fantastic job at what I thought was a very reasonable price. They also did an exchange service so it might be worth asking them to see if they can help you out.

Just in case you're considering it, my advice is to avoid Powerful's 'wheels. The one I bought for my old '02 was fine but the heating never worked terribly well.

The chrome spokes can be bought very reasonably and are a very easy job to fit. Again, avoid Powerful as their prices were twice what I paid for Genuine parts. eBay is your friend.

Mistercorn's suggestion of a retrimmer is a good one.  Si. <This is my name.

I eat rat poison.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.

Don't agree that eBay is the best place for genuine parts. Get a price from Dan for any bits, if you then want to research eBay then do so. But it is not right to assume eBay is cheapest

Will give dan a ring for the covers. I think a new wheel is quite pricey, i think there is a trimmer in derby, i will get them to give me a price to refinish it in nappa, will be cheaper than a new wheel. I can be without use for a while. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I did mine and it cost me about £200, for a soft nappa genuine one, from DCC 4x4

I just swapped the heating unit with the wheel, so didn't have a connection issue, at least thats what I think I did.

Just a matter of cutting a plastic peg otherwise.

We have used (nearly new nappa) and brand new grained leather (standard fit) here sir

Soft nappa all the way for me, I understand the grained ones can get grubby over time if not kept clean. 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8
