The steering wheel is just there in case of emergancies.
Never use it myself.

The only thing you really need to watch with the Mondeo gagues is that you need a diesel one otherwise the red line will be in the wrong place.

thats ok 100ps sees the redline as a target not a limit

nice steering wheel bolts, lucky some of these dont have to go for an SVA test ... they would laugh themselves to death

that van would pass an SVA like that (put it through as a disabled converted vehicle and that steering wheel and any thing else to do with the conversion is exempt from testing)

[madmark]

the good thing is that nobody would ever think of takeing the van as they wouldnt know how to drive it! i can remember a few years ago down at my local dealer they had a mint turbo auto di minibus with know steering wheel not shure how they got it in the workshop but it did baffle the guys thats for shure!

I hear the police use mole grips to move a vehicle when the wheel is stolen. Don't know how true it is.

Can't see any reason why they wouldn't, but why would anyone steal a steering wheel?

Gotta say i've driven a Mk1 fiesta with molegrips for the same reason, but it was me that broke the steering wheel off trying to break the steering lock.

Yeah, I've just looked into this and you're right.

I'm building a 2 L Pinto powered trike with foot controlled steering, and it doesn't have to have a SVA test.

only if the govenment dont get their way, under the new proposals any vehicle that has any modifications that are not shown on the v5 IE trikes registered as reliants, kitcars that kept the original cars registration etc. will be flagged when they go for an MOT and will require an SVA to stay on the road. this could mean that a kit car that has been on the road for 30 years suddenly requires an SVA which it has no chance of passing, this could affect 1000's of vehicles including custom vans
