Clock springs normally get sold on eBay with the stalks/steering column electronics module. Might be worth looking for them?

Thanks all. Managed to get one from Equicar for £60, gen LR part so all set now apart from an airbag removal tool, which only seem to be a few quid from eBay, so have ordered one and will hopefully be able to give this mod a go next week.

Care must be taken when carrying out this retrofit to facelift pre 2014 cars. The switch packs are wired differently in the multiplug and also the pack curcuit board is configured differently. If a 2014 specific switch pack is fitted to a earlier car the horn will only work on one side of the wheel. Why this change was considered so late in production is unclear? Maybe to enable gearchange paddles. So to clarify the Vin change point is DH371766

The clockspring remains the same between 2013 and 2014 types with HSW

Yes the heater will work but for some reason JLR messed with the switches and dash wiring on the dash side of the clock spring cassette. The cassette and steering wheel wiring will be ok but the switch pack is different which will cause the horn button to work on just one side of the wheel. So you will need the earlier RH switch pack pre VIN DH371766

From memory the fitting of early RH switch pack LR040352 (if piano black) £97.81+V should be sufficient to get everything working correctly

Job's a good 'un. Well, apart from sorting the DTCs (can anyone in or near North Wales with CCF software help with that?), but the hardware all works, and out of sight out of mind, eh?

Do you know you have DTCs, or guessing?
I dont remember changing CCF settings, nor having DTCs.

When I fitted mine it was plug and play nothing else needed same on my evoque.

Just guessing, going on what StuartC said in the original HSW retrofit thread. Is it possible that MY2013 is purely plug and play but MY14/15 isn't quite as straightforward, given the changes to the switchpack wiring that LindsHansen posted about above?

13my and 14my are electrically the same, though sometimes new software exists. ECU part numbers sometimes appear to be 14/15my specific but this is an assembly part number is the HW and SW combined.

It's a little weird as I had SDD on my 13MY a week ago and it had NO DTCs at all, which in its self is a surprise, but nothing resultant from the steering wheel change. I don't remember changing the CCF, but I change it that often I could well have forgotten. The SDD session grabs the CCF so I'll have to compare against an older one and see what if any change I've made.

No dtc’s when I did mine

Cheers guys. I don't think I'll worry about it then.

Reckon I did this mod just in time, as temps dipped overnight and we woke up to snow the next morning, not just on the tops but even down in the valley here in central Snowdonia. So got a good chance to test out the heated wheel in sub zero temps and I must say it gives out a very welcome bit of extra warmth. Similarly impressed with the handling of the FL2 so far in the snow and with the grip of the tyres too (I'm running Michelin Crossclimates, fitted just under 12 months ago).

The new steering wheel, which came off an HSE Lux, feels a lot softer and more comfortable than my old wheel, even though that was also a leather wheel of the same age (2013). I thought the steering wheels were all the same? I know the Lux has Windsor leather seats rather than grained leather as in my XS, but were Lux wheels also upholstered in better quality leather?

2013 does vary electrically to 2014 hence the different switch packs I can only think this was for a still born gear paddle option which never happened?
