Problems with the standard steering wheel

[strelleymagpie]

Does anybody else have problems with not having enough room for your legs under the standard steering wheel on a Saxo? I'm 6ft and quite chubby, and have to have the driver's seat all the way back to get in the car! I was thinking maybe of changing my wheel for a 320mm or even 300mm so that I had a bit more room, but I'm a complete newb to this so not sure how easy that is to do.

.....and yes, I could lose weight to get more room too, already doing that before anybody suggests that lol, already 3 stone lighter than I was this time last year.

Never had an issue personally. That said I'm a scrawny, short arse. Seating and wheel position is perfect for me.

I had same issue. Aftermarket wheel with boss kit = solved ;)

6ft1, seat all the way back was fine for me, you sound like you need to skip leg days. What did my head in was the offset pedals.

Thing is, my legs aren't particularly large :sad: and I would prefer not to have to change the steering wheel as it would mess up the airbag and I'd have problems with my MOT in November

buy another car, or like you said, you could lose weight

Just swap them over at MoT time. It only takes a few minutes.

I've got a dished wheel and the boss spaces it out too, much more comfy all round. Dedicated track car, so MoTs OK too.
