It doesn't compute, I don't get how it's held onto the dashboard. The inner spokes go to hidden hub on a geet big nut, just like every other steering wheel. There may or may not be some gearing involved, I can't remember. Said steering wheel gave no issue during the 11 years I owned mine, although the glovebox, air con condenser drier and engine eventually broke. I will also say that my car, an SX with centreless alloys, was the fussiest little cunt about wheel balance I've ever encountered in 20+ years of driving. NO-ONE, bar a motorbike place in Liverpool had a balancing machine that a: was calibrated properly or b: could balance a wheel accurately down to zero, which is what it needed. I also had to steal it back from the dealership when they tried to make me pay for a warranty repair. 'WELL, Mr Burgess, we've got your key,' they said. "We'll fucking see about that," I replied. Off I went home in a taxi, still in my suit from work, and got a hi-vis jacket. Spare key in hand, I strolled in the workshop bold as brass and told a young lad reversing a Dispatch that I was the area manager from the Manchester branch and that I needed to move that C4 (my C4, helpfully) for a customer who'd given me their key. Also, I was in a hurry, so could you please move that C2 and let me get on my way? The lad hurriedly agreed and I slowly drove out of the workshop and right past the reception desk, the receptionist now goggle-eyed, with a big shit-eating grin on my face. I eventually got the key back without a bill when I kicked off to fuck at head office about it and threatened to take it to the press. Fucking thing. grogee, Lacquer Peel, MrGTI6 and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hit the bottom of their depreciation curve about 15 years ago! 😅 I'd be interested to know if when it's going to start going upwards I remember thinking I scored a right bargain, £1295 from a dealer in 2008 for a shiny* 03 plate one. Suffered OMGHGF after 4 years of trouble free motoring. Was actually a fairly decent car. Just stupidly expensive to run for a 1.6 petrol, even for 2008 petrol prices!

I thought it was below the £1 mark then it spiked to £1.40 in 2013 ish, then down to 99p in 2015 ish then upwards from there..?
