Right , ive managed to get the spliced bit off with some hard work.

however the hub doesnt seem to go far enough back to then get the bolt on the hold it in place...

 :angry:

Pjones the guy up who sold it to me and he contacted the makers and they've got no registered problems with it.

 :laugh:

My car is now impossible to drive.... :cry:

get an early pre 89 steering wheel as a stop gap until you get it sorted. at least that way you can drive it about

Will do.

The most stressful couple of days car wise ever, but the feeling when you get it right is something undescribable!

Gear knob is going to be replaced soon, along with a nice gaiter!

Thinking about new bucket seats too, when i can afford too!
