air bags connected to the seat pre tensioners, funnily enough was reading up on pulling mine off last night lol
think the connector is located under or behind centre console. but they reckon you wait 5 mins after disconnecting that wire before you pull it off too.
my mates good at soldering so may give this a go :d

yeah just disconnect battery, leave it about 10-15 mins for good measure, then unscrew the steering wheel. the airbag just pulls off after you've unscrewed it. this is mine, i preferred the display green tbh,

yes lad the sidlights work, and the rest of the lights work, the one at the temp gage works, but the ones behind the milage screen dont work and the milage screen wiring has come off
how can it be stuck on again?

Everyones got a different opinion on that mate.
My dials have been nothing but trouble since i did this, i have a second hand dial set but i dont wanna fit em incase the mileage goes mental.
Some say it adds the mileages, some say it uses the one on the newly fitted board, some say it just uses the higher of the two. I havent got the balls to find out which is true tbh

on mk2's you can change the dials as it holds the millage on the clock circuit baord, so if you ahve a mk2 vts with 60k on the clock and you buy some mk2 vts clocks with 45k on them when u fit them in it will display the 45k millage, the reason that we say it adds them together is because some manufacturers cars do do that but on saxos it dont and also we dont want it to be public knowedge as people will start clocking there cars more
