Beware, i dont think this is a genuine wood/leather wheel - it appears to be a standard wheel with one of those tacky cheap wood lookalike covers that clip on.... probably a tenner's worth.

i think....

doesnt look like either of my 2 W124/W202 original mb wood/leather wheels....

Yup your right SilverSaloon:

''THE STEERING WHEEL IS AN ORIGINAL MERCEDES WITH A WALLNUT COVER ON TOP WHICH I BOUGHT FROM A 3rd PARTY.''

Dammit didn't spot the fine print, thank you for spotting that it had a wheel cap.

You need to be sure that your existing airbag will fit - if not you could be looking at £500 approx. for a new one (I was quoted £406 plus VAT over two years ago).

M-B told me that the airbag on my R129 definitely would not fit the wood/leather wheel.

on these Non-button wheels (ie 124, 202, pre-facelift 210 etc) if its the same shape insert on the wheel as your current one then it should fit. you may need to ensure the new wheel has the inner parts included (ie the contact metal parts for the horn press etc). The one pictured from ebay DOES NOT ahve these inner bits.... so you will be relying on the current wheel's parts to fit the new wheel's.

i have fitted two of these. One was a perfect match, easy.

the 2nd that came from a 202 required slight alteration to the wiring to fit on my 124.

the difference between my two is that one has the bolts for the "inner bits" threaded in, the other is a bolt on affair.

Either way i am sure they could be drilled to fit if really needed, or a 2nd hand airbag sourced from ebay to match.

I actually have an airbag for sale if anyone needs one!!

i could do a how to on how to fit these wheels if anyone's interested..... its pretty simple though, once you've got the bloody great bolt out!!

You'll find a much better selection of wheels on ebay if you log onto ebay.de rather than UK and search for Mercedes LENKRAD.
