Thread: Removing a non-airbag steering wheel

G'day all. First post on this great forum. My old man just bought a 94 Discovery V8i and we're trying to sort out the cruise control issues. ECU seems ok, vacuum lines are cracked and disconnected, but there seems to be an issue with the rotary coupling, as the horn button isn't working as well (horn does when you earth it at the loom going into the wheel.)

Can anyone tell me the trick to removing a non-airbag steering wheel on a 94 Disco? The manual refers to a couple of Torx screws behind the pad but the pad and wheel look like they're one piece. Is it the same as the Defender, where the horn pad is removed to reveal the nut? How does the horn pad come off?

Thanks.

Sounder.

edit: Modified thread title.. (brain thinking non-airbag, fingers type non-abs)

Kind Regards, James.

Yes, there are three parts to remove before you see the nut on a non-airbag steering wheel. The pad with the Land Rover badge. The plastic horn push disc which has four clip-in tabs, use a small screwdriver to push in the tabs gently, and finally the cup that holds the horn contacts. You need to use a small thin screwdriver again and lever the cup out around the edge.
Hope that helps.
