It's an ADR breach not to run a steering wheel without an airbag - you've removed a safety feature of the car. The same goes for having a horn - can you blame them for 'singling you out'?

Try a wrecker and see if they'll lend you one out - a lot of them will help with getting cars off of defect (for a fee).

Hey ppl,

Once again the boys in blue sussed a skyline out n got me for not having a horn and i got a sports stearing wheel.

So does anyone have a stock steering wheel i can borrow or something to shut them up?

Cheers.

To start with, what car do you have? And what the hell, why no horn? I've got a Momo Corse wheel, and it has a horn. Seems kinda necessary... But if you've got something like an R33 S1, they didn't come with airbags.

Can you take a photo of what it looks like when you've pulled the horn button out? Generally it's a single wire that connects to a lug on the horn button itself to the metal inside of the boss-kit thingy... Gawd, lost for words tonight.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
