Next one was brand new, but the plastic top cracked...!!!! can only assume it was in the extreme heat recently

Current one is another brand new one.

Steering wheel and air bag changed. Again the originals were well worn after 140,000 miles, and for some reason the wheel has a set of non functioning cruises switches fitted.

I wonder if the car had a wooden wheel originally, and someone put on what ever came to hand.

Still a million and one jobs to do, and no time to do them !!!
Is yours not fitted with cruise David?
