Title: Smaller steering wheels?
Post by: Fuddy as muck on November 18, 2006, 15:54:37

I'm looking at buying the Mountney steering wheel off ebay but before i do, i'm just wondering if it has a massive impact on the steering? i.e because the series 3 doesnt have power steering does having a smaller wheel make it just about impossible to steer. Thanks in advance people.

I prefer having the smaller Mountney wheel as it is fatter and easier to hold onto (in my opinion).  Ensure you get the correct steering boss with it as when I first got mine it didn't, I had to get one from a stand at Billing in the end (and I'm so glad I did!).

I had a smaller 90 steering wheel fitted to my S3, but swapped it back to the original.  I just found the smaller steering wheel much harder work.  If you intend spending a lot of time off road, it'll probably be fine, but I use my s3 to drive to work and back every day and it's much easier with the old bus size for that sort of use.

So how much do these Mountney wheels cost with the right boss then?
