Finally, the ****** thing has arrived from Germany..
Initial impressions, are that it's ****** chunky compared to the old skinny rubbish & a good thing...
Not cheap £300 exchange & I've got to send back the old wheel...
OLD :
Side by Side : notice how rubbish the old leather has become...
And new one Fitted :
I'll take a better pic tomorrow, however I'm quite happy with it, it will take some getting used to, but it just makes the driving position feel a bit more "manly" lol
The only fly in the ointment was that the paddles supplied are the later plastic ones which only allow - or + changes on one side only, my older S211 paddles allowed both on each side, but I couldn't transfer them, as the slots on the back of the wheel weren't right
I've got to check if they work... but since reconnecting the battery I've had no codes, and I can shift up / down the box using the lever, but not the paddles ( I assume they only work when you are on the go )....
I'll sort that later....
Hope you enjoy
