tayaste's guide - how to - heated steering wheel
How to update Disco Steering wheel to the heated.
Tools needed
Long nose pliers
Torx T20
Philips Screwdriver
16mm socket and ratchet
Air bag removal tool
Parts
Heated Steering wheel - LR017034
Clockspring - LR018556
Switch Pack - LR014308
Heated wheel connecting wire - here http://www.disco3.co.uk/shop/heated-steeri...r-p52.html
I went for the plug and play version from the shop, much easier.
First center the steering wheel
Next Disconnect Negative on the battery
Next remove the H-trim, pull from the bottom to release the four clips
Remove the T20 torx from next to the park brake release
Pull gear selector upwards to release
Starting at the cup holders pull up to release the gear surround from its clips
Remove tray from under the ashtray and the HVac unit via 4 T20 torx
This allows you to remove the 2X T20 torx screws and remove the ashtray, a bit of force was needed here.
Using the wire from Martins shop we want to break into the cig adapter to supply power to the new clock spring
Disconnect the orange multi plug on the back of the 12v supply this is where you will take the feed to power the clock spring
Run the cable up through towards the nav unit
Using the air bag removal tool, remove the air bag
Disconnect the earth and 2X multi plugs using the long nose pliers
Now disconnect the white multi plug from the top of the clock spring
Remove the 16mm steering bolt
Check and note alignment of wheel to splined shaft
Remove wheel
Undo the 2X T20 torx from under the cowling
Now you can remove the upper cowling and drop the lower to access the clock Spring and its four Philips screws.
Now's a good time to tape your clock spring up to maintain centered
Remove old clock spring using Philips screwdriver on the four screws and disconnect the two multi plugs
Route the wire you've installed from the cig lighter through the cowling
Connect the two multi plugs to the new clock spring and the new wire you've just routed
Refit new clock spring and then refit cowling
refit ashtray and gear surround
Now to the steering wheel.
We want to keep the RH switch pack
Remove the four torx t20 from the rear, these will be used in your new wheel
Now remove RH switch pack, it pulls straight up.
Disconnect the multiplug behind the switch pack
Now remove brass weight from old wheel. 3X t20 Torx
Transfer the weight to your new wheel
Now fit both switch packs including your new one with the heated wheel button and connect the wires.
Refit the 4 Torx
Now remove the new clock spring clamp
Now re-fit wheel paying attention to the centering alignment marks to where they were previously. Refit 16mm steering wheel bolt.
Plug in all the cables, you can't go wrong here they only fit in the right socket.
re-connect earth and the 2X air bag multi plugs. Then re-fit air bag to the wheel.
Re-connect car battery.
Refit H-Trim and all the other trim
Then, fire it up.
If I've missed something let me know and I'll update it

Top work!

Good work, Steve. Must say, it's making me want to upgrade - not for the heated wheel, as that doesn't really interest me at all, but just for the sake of it. Current: Discovery 3 06MY (55 reg) HSE Auto Zambezi Silver Allisport Fast Road Intercooler, V8 Brakes, Silicone IC Hoses, EGRs Blanked, Remapped, De-Cat pipe, FBHIC
Freelander 2 2007 HSE Manual Tambora Flame
Previous: FL2 56 reg SE Manual Black (written off )
Disco 3 06 reg B7S Manual Rimini Red
Disco 2 TD5 Y reg ES Manual Blue - Chipped
Several Discovery 300 TDis
Considered that also, for the flappy panels, but TBH, I prefer the style of the D3 ones. Too many other things taking priority anyway. Current: Discovery 3 06MY (55 reg) HSE Auto Zambezi Silver Allisport Fast Road Intercooler, V8 Brakes, Silicone IC Hoses, EGRs Blanked, Remapped, De-Cat pipe, FBHIC

I've got a few days off work at the moment, so looking for jobs on the car to get me out of housework. I've got a dual battery to install but I think that can wait for the time being
