Ah fair enough matey i was only going to ask how it compared to a slightly more recent older model such as a 200 or 300tdi say.
But yeah im sure there is much more comfort than your series two haha!

I think that's the one! Now to decide whether to go for the 14 or 15 inch... And do I really have to wait until it's delivered to count the bloody splines?!
It's a 48 spline column (on my 64 plate 110)
But I'm sorry to disappoint- I had the OEM wheel off yesterday to count the splines and there's a new sensor appeared as part of the DSC electronics.
This sensor interfaces with the back of the original wheel (not the steering column unfortunately) and thus means you can't use any of the existing bosses that are out there.
I phoned around the houses yesterday and today:
Devon4x4: hadn't heard of the problem, and went to look at one of their mechanics trucks, and were stumped.
Mud UK (motolita stockists): hadn't heard of the problem, but are going to get back to me when they get their new 64 plate truck in next week.
Twisted Performance: knew about the problem, and are making a boss that fits, but aren't planning to release it on general sale (only for sale if you send your vehicle for a full upgrade).
Overfinch (a little out of my league but I thought I'd try): do a wheel that will fit directly- but it's £997 before VAT
Land Rover do a Momo steering wheel as an option on the Xtech/Fire/Ice specials but won't sell it aftermarket.
SO! It seems we're stuck for the moment...

Thanks for that, looking forward to hear what Mud come back with...
Have one made to your own specifications at http://www.superspoke.co.uk. they also do beautiful wooden ones which I'm having made for my series 3
LRI solutions (http://http://www.lrisolutions.co.uk) are now doing a Momo boss to fit the new steering sensor. Just ordered a Momo quark 14" wheel for £188 including courier.
Edit: the new boss isn't on the website yet but should be soon- I placed my order by phone.

Mud have got the new dsc boss up on their website now if anyone is interested: Moto-Lita Steering Wheel Kit - Steering Wheels - Products
