Title: TD5 Steering Wheels
Post by: Ben on May 02, 2007, 13:27:20

Hi

Somewhere in the dim and distant back corners of my memory, I seem to remember that there is a difference between a CSW steering wheel and a hard top steering wheel on the TD5 model.

As part of the work I've had done on the 90, they've put a brand new steering column on, and lo and behold the steering wheel no longer fits. Mine's not a CSW, although it looks like one (which is why they've clearly ordered the wrong steering column :roll: )

So, what's a CSW steering wheel look like, and does it really have a different number of splines? If so [Edited] were Land Rover thinking about?

Cheers

Ben

Perfect - thank you :D

So I'm going to end up with a vehicle that looks a bit more like a station wagon 8) Now that is good news!

Cheers

iv'e been told that the csw colum top is not same.I'm told for some reason on the csw they use a old spline set up and used a different one on hard backs etc... Give simmonites a bell thats where my new steering wheel for my td5 csw has just come from and they knew which one i needed
