Retrofitted 2013 sterring wheel

Well, I decided just to fit it. Used an m10x25 bolt and 2mm washer,torqued up and threadlocked.

For those thinking of doing the same - it's not just a straight swap. You need to swap the internals of the switchpack too as they're not compatible . See https://blackbox-solutions.com/.
Not a cheap conversion either when you factor a new wheel together with the switchpack conversion.Even more if you can get a heated wheel as you need an extra conversion for that too. However, I was lucky enough to get a steering wheel cheap and was offered the switchpack conversion cheap too from a forum member.
All in it cost me £175.

Wales 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 XS Auto Santorini Black

Looks great though - nice one. I'm really keen to get hold of a heated wheel, the gloss black switchpacks and a clockspring to do mine, but can't seem to source the parts.

Wales 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 XS Auto Santorini Black

I've got a MY2013 FL2 so I'd only be doing the mod to get the heated functionality, as my XS didn't come with it. Although I suppose a pair of gloves would be a lot cheaper!
