Hi all,

Just swapping cover the steering wheels. Tired of the tdci style, too big, need more space. Got the 14" sports style.
Same spline, just need to know if I have to adjust the blue plastic column or anything around the steering bolt.
The new wheel has an indicator cancel tab, but not sure it's necessary if the old wheel didn't have one. Issue is it's getting stuck and won't slide in fully to be able to be bolted securely. Can just as easily cut it off and grind down, but will lose the indicator cancelling in doing so. Can I adjust anything to try and avoid this? The blue plastic section is getting in the way.

Yeh, will need to cut the metal tab down on the new sports wheel. Need to make sure I don't cut too much off. I can see a groove in the blue collar where where the tab would fit, but I'd have to move the collar, which probably isn't advisable.

Can do so much repair work and maintenance on the Landy, never actually changed a wheel ha. Don't want to move something I shouldn't. Will have a mess around.

Thanks
