Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi guys, does anyone know if fitting a non-air bag Momo steering wheel will cause issues with either the UK MOT requirements or insurance in the UK? I’m thinking of fitting a Mod 07 but not sure if removing the airbag wheel is an issue? Any advice greatly received! Thanks, Rick
Hi Rick Basically since 2013 it should fail the MOT, unless the car is heavily modified for rallying etc. You should also advise your insurance company that you have removed the safety airbag. Lots of info here https://www.reddit.com/r/CarTalkUK/comments/l5mb4r/confusion_about_steering_wheel_and_airbag_laws/ It’s not worth the risk IMHO, the first replying comment on the above thread sums it all up for me. Good luck
Super helpful, thanks! My other option is a refurb of my factory leather wheel possibly with some carbon inserts. Still noodling around on options so your comments are gratefully received!
Lots of people I know have done it on GT3s. They cover the airbag light with a sticker. Do they all know a friendly MOT guy? ???????
I'd sooner plant my face into an air cushion than have MOMO printed on my forehead for the rest of my days personally speaking.
Actually I think it would appear on your forehead as OMOM...[ ]

Yes it would[ ]
