There's a yellow seal on that one.
Couldn't see one on its own from eBay. I might have to contact someone like Charles and see if I can buy a few.

Found a pic of what I was thinking of. Different seal on other side of the axle. ..

Feel like I’ve been stuck in a time warpThey are mate, 16, nearly 18 and nearly 26... I don't know where the time has gonethe odd hormone flying around from time to time and I have to be the big dog
but they are good lads and I'm grateful.
How about you big guy?
all men now, and being Piercys no doubt a handful.I’m okay bud. I’ve had enough Landys to know broken but functional is good enough
Dog is fine and he keeps me in check

Look what I've got hold of!
Wood is good, leather is damaged and the wrong colour but I've ordered a repair kit so see how that pans out as I've never done it before.

So its finally flagged a fault this morning, 3-4th gear change, town speed slow pickup and while it changes if you remove or add throttle the gearchange is successful, exactly the same symptoms and actions as it did 60k miles ago when i first got it and put a valve body in,
Did check box level and fluids an okay colour not metallicy black so i think im away to launch a valve body in see what happens

If you want a professional job I'd recommend Royal Steering Wheels in Aylesbury. Had a Saab 9-5 steering wheel done by them and was amazing finish.
Bit of a trek but could post as an option. Or I pass by that way often and could LRFerry for you.

Looks straightforward enough to DIY to me. Looking closer at it...it doesn't look unfeasible to remove the leather and use that as a template to cut and sew on new stuff. Plenty of saddlers in Shropshire would probably have the gear and skills to do a decent job if it came to that.

Plenty of videos on yt.. a few sorting you how the folks do it with the right tools too.. night and day.. but i think with practice you might get a decent job.. but you need the right twine.. right needles etc and pre punched holes to get things neat

Yeah, if I had a totally knacked wheel I would have a go at recovering it then on to a pro if I couldn't get it right. This one has a few nicks and a fair bit of wear, mainly on the back, so it's worth a go with the restoration kit at £25.
It's got the cleaner, paint and sealer, no sandpaper or application sponges but I've got loads of wet and dry and , I've read, that spraying the paint on does a better job, got spraying stuff too.

I’m sure Enners done one years ago DIY.
@Henry_b did his steering wheel a few years ago with some restoration stuff and posted on here somewhere. Looked good once done.

He pulled the whole interior out. Thought he was mad at the time, and I was sorta right. He has a knack for that kinda thing though but it did look good.You beat me too it, but if the 2 of us think it it must be true.

Calibrated the ride height. What a palava! Eventually got there and it said some sbs ecu or other needed to learn something about longitudinal and latitude values out of whack.. but it passed and completed ok!
