Just wondering why type of steering wheels fit the J.
I know that the Zafira Tourer C has a flat bottomed one and that fits, but what about other Vx models? Like the Adam?

As for the air bag could the Adam one be used?

Sod off @WhelanUK lol j/k I'm only jealous. It all started when I drove my stepdads Jaguar XF Premium Luxury. I now have to have at least heated leather seats... Steering wheel is a bonus.

I like the Adams wheel but this doesn't answer my question aha. I'd love a bi turbo wheel, I've been looking for weeks and it's like gold dust

It is without a doubt the loveliest steering wheel I've ever had my paws on! Very soft though so have to take care not to scratch/scuff it

Is it the same as the VXR one that I have? If so... I agree! It's amazing!
