Hi,

Did the J ever come with the heated steering wheel option in the UK?

If not, you got to wonder why. I've seen a load of Corsa D's with the SE trim coming through the workshop that have them.

Who knows, maybe the higher up J's have them fitted, but just need the button fitted! Wishfull thinking

Anyone got the option?

Has anyone removed the the airbag / horn from the steering wheel?

Had a look on the workshop manual and it says to make a tool to unhook it form the back.

I know to disconnect the battery and wait at least 30 minutes.

I was on the motorway today doing about 70mph, bit of a car bumper in the road o had to brake and avoid, I braked quite suddenly and the ABS didn't kick in (didn't brake that hard) but the steering wheel shook a bit, is this normal??

After the part number for the steering wheel emblem that stuck to the bottom of the steering wheel on the VXR's the Red bits on mine have started to ware off :(

Also does any one know how easy they are to change?

This ex police astra J is doing my head in, I bought a reset radio off ebay which wouldn't communicate with MDI in the car for some reason so had to send it back, now I started looking at connect2 again and realised I need steering controls for it which I don't have, so yet again im stuck with it and the car is driving me mad, stupid Vauxhall want £500 for a brand new radio fitted, I found someone on here selling one but there 200mile away and still quoting me near 300 for it, anyone any ideas?

As title has anyone fitted the steering controls I want to fit aftermarket radio but need the controls to use it?

Thanks

Mark

How-to Remove Airbag Steering Wheel & Buttons

[Image: https://www.vxoc.org.uk/Images/rusty/How...heel/1.JPG]

First thing we need to do is disconnect the battery negative cable, so open bonnet and remove negative cover if fitted then using a 10mm spanner or socket undo and remove the terminal and move it out of the way

Do i or don't I?

Hi guys, I have a chance of a VXR heated steering wheel off a 2014 Astra which I'm looking to install in my 2011 Astra 1.7 Elite.
Now unfortunately the airbag is missing so does anyone know if I can simply swap the airbag from my Elite into the VXR steering wheel?
Also can the heated part of the steering wheel be connected to work?
Thanks in advance.

Just been driving and when turning at about 5mph going to pro I heard a weird noise and felt it through steering wheel. Can't really describe it but worried me.

Anyone have any idea what this could be, maybe fluid needs topped up or tyre pressure checked?

Also I thought I may have damaged a spring (drivers side) the other day when I hit a pothole but car has been fine. Hope nothing is damages as can't really afford this atm with baby only 2weeks old haha!
