Thanks for the advice Gripper, looks like a black steering wheel cover will have to do. Cheers Monty1234

Can anyone confirm if the splines are the same on 200tdi and 300tdi steering wheel ? I'd like to swop my crabby blue/green wheel in my '91 disco, for a black one out of 300tdi. cheers monty1234

Thanks for the replies folks, looks like it's beyond my meagre skills, even if bought dirt cheap. I'm afraid I didn't take any photos as I hadn't got a clue what it had failed on (other than the boot floor) until I got back home and got the failure info from the VOSA site. The bit that really concerned me was: Rear Lower BOOT FLOOR Suspension component mounting prescribed area is deliberately modified which significantly reduces the original strength (2.4.A.2) Sounds like a bit of a bodge job. I'll keep looking.... cheers Monty

Hi all, I've been to have a look at a Disco that falied it's MOT, the guy selling hadn't got a copy of the failure sheet but I managed to get the info online when I got back home. As follows: Reason(s) for refusal to issue Certificate Nearside Front Steering system has excessive free play detected at the steering wheel (steering box fitted) (2.2.A.1a) Rear Lower BOOT FLOOR Suspension component mounting prescribed area is deliberately modified which significantly reduces the original strength (2.4.A.2) Offside Front INNER WING Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.2) Nearside Rear INNER WHEEL ARCH Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.2) I wondered if one of you Mechanic guru's could explain exactly what it means The steering didn't feel right, like it was hesitating but hard to describe Would it be worth buying with the above problems (what do you think it would cost to sort out myself), and if so for how much ( I know it depends on the rest of the car but it looked quite good ) Many thanks in advance Monty
