Know the part
Understanding Steering Wheel
The steering wheel on a modern Land Rover carries the driver's airbag, multifunction switches and, on some models, heating and gearshift paddles. Behind it, the clock spring (rotary coupler) keeps the airbag and switches connected while the wheel turns.
Leather wheels wear with use and sun, and a failing clock spring can switch off the horn, the switches and the airbag. Airbags are safety devices and must be handled by a qualified technician.

Questions
Common Questions About Land Rover steering wheel
What is a clock spring and why does it fail?
It is a coiled ribbon cable behind the steering wheel that keeps the airbag and switches connected as the wheel turns. It wears with use and can break if the wheel is turned too far with the column disconnected. Failure often shows as an airbag light and dead buttons.
Can I swap my steering wheel myself?
Because it contains an airbag, it is safest to have a qualified technician do it. Disconnect the battery and wait before touching airbag connections, as the manufacturer's procedure specifies.
Can a worn leather steering wheel be retrimmed?
Yes, trim specialists can retrim a wheel with the airbag removed safely. This is often cheaper than a new wheel.
What should I send to order a steering wheel?
The VIN, trim colour, and whether the wheel has heating, paddles or particular switch functions.
