    D2 Horn buttons

    My (careless) D2 has lost one of the plastic horn buttons from the steering wheel. I offended her with the application of duct tape to hold in the spring and metal plate.
    I thought these must be a pop-out/push-in easily replaceable item, but I am informed that these come as part of a kit including airbag and sundry....at considerable expense. The duct tape gets to stay for the moment!
    Has anyone else had this problem?

    There's a US seller on Ebay with some aftermarket buttons ! About $40US/pair I think it was.

    Buttons have been specially made to solve your problem. Noticed them the other day. CRA Custom Rover something maybe ?

    if you can find it, its easily fixed - mine has stayed together for 2 years. Cut a piece of rubber from a thong that will slide down the centre of the spring and is 3-4 mm longer. silicone each end, attach plastic horn button, bingo. Good as a bought one.

    I thought I saw in microcat the set of two buttons that came with just the wiring etc for both sides. Wasn't listed with the airbag assy. Was looking as one of the clips on my RH button has broken off and if not careful ever now and then it pops out. Don't have microcat on me at the moment sorry.

    You can get the genuine part from brit-car.co.uk for about 45-50.
