Hello,

I have two tech 2 steering wheels one is twisting around 11 - 1 o'clock as it would be in situe.

The other... the leather is grubby discoloured and tacky to hold.

Is there anything you can do without them having to be retrimmed?

I might offer the 2 of them to the retrimmer as credit towards one good one. the sad thing is the twisty one is in great nick leather wise.

from the rear of the steering wheel where the stitch is you can inject some rubber glue using a syringe, i have seen them do it here as Toyotas have the same habit.

Trick is to find a syringe with about a 1mm indder diamter and a glue that will flow through it.

syringe you should get from a good pharmasist, glue i can't help you.

Paul it might be worth selling both to fund buying one very good one. Even tatty tech 2 wheels seem to fetch decent money on eBay.

+1 that, I'm still yet to see one go for much less than £100 regardless of condition

My Tech 1 370mm was twisting, it wasn't the leather, it was the inner rubber core.

Last week I bit the bullet and removed the stitching on the top half, cut into the rubber and glued it back down using Gorilla glue, I googled loose steering wheel and this glue came up time and time again as a suitable adhesive. I let it set for 24 hours and then stuck the leather back down with Evo-Stik impact and then stitched it all back together.

It's now perfect again with nice new black stitching!
