A question for C30 owners...

Marquez · Jun 22nd, 2009, 14:26

Hello Everyone.

I've just ordered a new C30 DRIVe, and I'd like to get a "Disklok" steering wheel lock for it. However, they come in 3 sizes, and I don't know what the outer diameter of the C30's steering wheel is.

So, I was wondering if one of you lovely C30 owners would be good enough to measure your steering wheel, and let me know what the outer diameter is.

I would go back to the dealers and do it myself, but the closest one is 30 miles away from where I live.

Many thanks

Mines R-Design, i dont know wether they are the same as Standard steering wheel size or not?

Thanks for the reply Kizzer. I had a look at the pics of your C30 - very nice!

I imagine that the R-Design's sports steering wheel will be a bit smaller than the standard one. Could you measure it for me anyway, just in case they're the same?

Many thanks.

I have just measured the steering wheel on my wife's R Design.

38cms dia and 3.5 cms rim thickness.

Hope this helps

PS Had to mention it was the wife's car as I have "only" got a V50.

Just curious, but why fit one in the first place? Modern immobilisers are so good you have to steal the keys to nick a car these days so it won't make any difference whether it's there or not (unless you keep the key separate?).

Not having a dig or anything, genuine question, just wondering what the advantage of having one would be.

You're right, it's probably not necessary, it's just that I'm insanely paranoid about my car getting stolen (I literally have nightmares about it

) so I thought a Disklok would make for a nice, big, visual deterrent.

It's more likely to get unwanted attention with a Disklok & those lowlife might just kick a mirror off or key, it just to p*** you off (& you thought you were paranoid before

) Relax, the cars totally secure, let it blend in ~ worrying about it will surely dampen the enjoyment of ownership

Hmmm... you could be right. Thanks for the advice
