Weird first post of this got lost in cyberspace, Defender 110 Steering wheel

Hi Andrew, replied to this last night in the original thread - however I think NTL are having problems with newsgroups so I've replied again and e-mailed you..

There are two types of Defender column - the early/CSW type with a small column, and the Tdi/non-CSW type with a larger diameter column.

The early type is fitted to: 90/110/130 pre-Defender (so before Tdi engines ~1990) with the 4-spoke wheel 1998-on Station Wagons (including CSWs) with the 2 spoke wheel with the fat removable central section

The Tdi type is fitted to: Defender Tdis and Td5s except Tdi Station Wagons post 1998. 2 spoke wheel with a removable oval badge to access nut.

There's no difference between those Td5s with or without ABS or TC, it's done on Station Wagon/non SW. The Tdi type (larger diameter) is compatible with Series columns - Dad's got a 2 spoke wheel with the removable oval badge on his Series 1. I've got a Td5 CSW type wheel on my 1988 90.

If they say it will fit a Series column, then it's compatible with the Tdi column, which should be fitted to your 110 - easily checked by the existing wheel.

Hope this helps,

Martin

Martin, Have read with great interest all about your 90. One question: There are some pics of a half cut down rear door you put on but say it didn't work. I thought of doing the same. Can you please tell me why it didn't work and what you have now? Cheers Richard

I can't seem to get Andrew's e-mail address to work, even after trying to de-spammify it.. anyone got it and fancies e-mailing it to me?
