I do not understand what car you are working on if it is a Clio or Meg the green spade (Clio) connector is for amplified aerial it should go live with radio or ignition on.

I used the eBay one and was fine you need to stay aware of the steering wheel position that the wheels are straight and the wheel is the right way up when you remove it so when it all goes back together everything is in the zero position when you pull the locking tab. The airbag tool was a 6mm...

Here is the one I bought on eBay there are some things to look out for: 1. How to remove the airbag from the steering wheel a very difficult thing without a reliable modified tool. 2. Removing the left and right wiper and indicator controls mainly the red link cable between them and how it was...

The clock spring is replaceable it's not as expensive as you think, the new one I bought was £25 or so I'll have a look it was a 200 style car from Japan I was swapping the steering wheel back to standard from one of those stupid deep dished MOMO race ones. It's very easy to break them if it's...

I have a 197 with Cup shocks and Eibach springs, while my regular daily 197 has standard suspension. I've seen B14 coilovers in a terrible condition on a road...

Where are you at there are cheaper places to buy genuine.
