Title: Steering wheel Upgrade
Post by: Ashaddy on May 08, 2019, 06:47:03 PM

I have a 2002 jazz which has seen better days.  What steering wheels will fit without any hassle or major wiring issues?

Thanks for your help.

Steering wheel was very tatty in ours, I bought a used, low mileage, like for like replacement in as new condition for less than 15 quid delivered, IIRC. Of course, going that route means no airbag or radio control problems.

Fitting aftermarket steering wheels is a very grey area these days. Technically any of the non-airbag aftermarket steering wheels should be an MOT fail, although I believe there is some exemption for cars fully modified for rallying.

Alternatively, it may be possible to fit a wheel from another Honda model, make it all work and pass the MOT.

I got a sports leather one genuine from Italy eBay £180 instead of £330 and 5 mths wait! It makes such as difference as it's like a new car-surprised what a new steering can do! Part number: 08U97-TF0-600

My mechanic actually said that the airbag remains so does the horn etc. It's only the rim that's new. eBay has alot of used ones but try to buy something your year.

I once brought a leather steering for my Ibiza but every time I move the steering, the horn came on. Even though it looked very much the same. In the end I exchanged for a newer plastic one.
