As so many people have said changing the steering wheel really is a doddle.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

As so many people have said changing the steering wheel really is a doddle. I am really pleased with the difference it has made to the interior and to the driving experience (with the thicker wheel).
Has also lifted the interior a bit as the Savannah needs another colour to break it up.

Just have to work out how to fit the black dash strips now.

Thanks for your help on the wheel Robert. Reading your account made me hapy to have a go at it. Only took 20 minutes in total, and no airbag in the face! lol

oh darling we all need the help of a vertical stripe and some rouched pleats as we approach middle age....

OK. I'll try and do it step by step.
1) Disconnect Battery with key in ignition at Point 1.2) Turn the wheel so it is at 90 degress to normal.3) From the top remove the first screw that holds in the airbag (T30 Torx)4) Rotate the wheel so you can access the other screw5) From the top remove the second screw that holds in the airbag (T30 Torx)6) Remove the airbag and disconect the electrial connector7) Disconnect the ground wires that go to the steering wheel (You may not have these as mine was tiptronic.8) Undo the nut that holds the steering wheel on (24mm)9) The wheel is held on by two small clips, but it comes off with a quick pull.10) Pull the new wheel and tighten the nut.11) Connect the electrics and put he airbag in place.12) Tighten the two Screws that hold the airbag in place13) Reconnect the Battery.
Done - takes around 20 minutes. I am happy to bring the tools to one of the events if anyone wants to change it there. It really is that easy.
Cheers,
Chris

Thanks also Chris, I'm now tempted to change mine. The cost of the airbag makes it a hard decision though. After seeing that red & black steering wheel on the Gembella GT550 in last months Total 911, I wonder if my red airbag in a black wheel would look OK?
The dash strips are easy to change - honest. Infact I changed mine twice as I only found out I was supplied a LH set when it was too late !
Does anyone fancy some red strips? - they might look cool in a black dash.

I put that bit in red it because turning the wheel to get it on and off I lost the straight ahead position and had to start all over
