The good thing is that you can just recover the centre (and possibly fit remote button too)


Pulling tool is easy to make with a piece of steel bar - see the wiki

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

I had a smaller wheel fitted, but changes it back for a standard (32cm or 13") Momo wheel.


It keeps the old arms in shape :smt081 :-D

Who sent you that pic of my arm? (Sadly the other is quite small, it's the one I use with the mouse)

looking at the new v5 it looks like a two button electrical setup which should make it easier to wire up to buttons mounted behind the steering wheel, with a lcd display mounted else where. Id love to hear anyones thoughs as im waiting to order a v5 switcher.
please use email for contact
