Disco 2 Steering wheel horn button spring

Folks does anyone have a spare or know where I can get the spring that is located behind the steering wheel horn button. My local garage managed to lose mine and I’m struggling to find one?

many thanks

I think I’d be telling your local garage to get it sorted. Failing that a scrappy, but they probably will want to sell you the full wheel.

Tbh I just want to sort it however as you’ve mentioned anyone whose breaking wants to sell the whole set up, I just want a spring :-(

Measure the other spring's wire od and dimensions and try at one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223685552266 if you have patience to wait or find a supplier in UK there are more sellers like this which might have the proper size or longer which you can cut. I ordered once such springs from China and waited 12 days only

I was at the Billing of road show yesterday & there were loads of D2 steering wheels there s/h some were only a fiver (v. tatty) but had the horn buttons so if you know anybody who's there (a group from ya local off road club ?) today give 'em a ring.

Thank you

Also the interior light has 2 small springs in them if they'll do the job.

The little bugger popped out on me while on the motorway with my window down never to be seen again.
Here is where I bought my spring for about 4 quid part #QTC102700…

You can probably ask if they will have more to sell.

I also cut out the 3 plastic tabs in the hole the spring sits in with a slim chisel. This is so the button doesn’t sit so high on the steering wheel.
