New steering wheel.

[son of solo]

Finally found a reasonably priced steering wheel to replace my melted one...
i wonder how many people got theirs changed by Renault? i heard of one being changed as late as october 2011.
this one is dated 2008 so they must have continued production for a while after the 182 ceased production.

Well the obvious question is how are you planning on keeping this pristine then, or have the marigolds found another use?

i need one of those steering wheel covers from motorworld i think

Very nice, how much did it cost if you don't mind me asking?

Does anyone know how much a silver insert costs new?

A bit of O.C.D. hand washing and a weekly clean with saddle soap and it will be fine!

Got speaking to a guy in parts at the Renault garage and in passing he mentioned they had a 182 steering wheel in the stores that had been there ages, so I offered him £200 for it and after going away to speak to someone came back and said ok, I thought I would get something back for my current one off someone wanting it for a re trim and I have a spare now RS badge too.
so maybe it will end up standing me £150 rather than the £450 they are supposed to cost if you order one.

I want a new steering wheel too but not wanting to pay the amount they sell for new.

182 steering wheel - 8200272400 - £353.08

By 2008 Renault must have realised that these things melted. I wonder if this will last any longer due to them changing the manufacturing process or the materials used.

Doubtful even the 197's are doing it.
