`sticky` steering wheel

had a search for this but nothing specific, apologies if i have repeated an often asked Q ?

08 HSE wheel feels like bostik been spread on parts. clearly leather delaminating in some way, and its at 10 to 2, not where i would hold the wheel in the disco driving position. 30k miles and i`ve had since 5k, dont even wear jewellery so its not been caught on a ring etc,

at service today stealer said that LR wouldn`t treat as warranty item.......had i got diesel on it after fill up !!
yeh i always get covered in the stuff and get in the car !?

about to write to LR direct but any views on here first ??

it's a well known issue. They should definately sort it out. Plenty of people on here have had it replaced under warranty. Kick up a fuss about it.

If the car is out of warranty do you think I'd still be able get my wheel changed if it was a known fault? Or do you think that's pushing my luck? Could I argue it?

Probably pushing your luck but no harm asking. They may contribute and reduce the price of another one. Get the new smooth one it shouldn't happen to them.

I think after 5 years you'll have a better chance of sleeping with Megan Fox

Have to agree with Neil (as much as I don't like to Wink ) No chance of getting it swapped out after 5 years.

If you're going to replace it yourself get the new smooth one.

Dickydisco I do not believe with a MY05 you are going to get anywhere. Have you seen http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic44000.html?

Zig
seen that thread and I know i won't get anywhere with the dealer. but gonna give it a go for a laugh. I saw them smooth leather wheels for sale on te bay but never got round to getting one. the price at one point was just over 100 quid now because demand has increased they have gone to nearly 200, so the group but is great at 120.
In fact Im gonna have one
