I was thinking about replacing the old steering wheel on a 91 463. A local scrappy has a nice merc steering wheel from an E300 with part No A221 460 21 03 9C29.

Anyone tell me if this will fit and any tips on replacing ?

OK...

That is from a 216 CL 2006 Onwards or a 221 S Class 2005 Onwards

Oak Grain DESIGNO Natural Matt Wood with Black Leather....?

Can't give a definitive answer but my gut feeling is unfortunatly no....

Nice wheel through...

From experience you need to find something from the same era up to mid 90's

But i will stand corrected...

mmm.... doesnt sound like the one I'm looking at. Don't see any wires or connectors for air bags and the seller claims its off a E300 from 2002. From the tinternet - it looks like this one.

Could the A221 460 21 03 9C29 actually be A212 460 21 03 9C29? That would make it an W212 E Class but still later than 2002 unless its a A211 460 21 03 9C29? Then we could be on a 2002 W211 E Class...

Won't this obscure your instruments effectively? Wheel removal ever so simple, 27mm socket,a gentle tap from a fist behind the wheel,  a bit of trial and error getting it in the straight ahead position,

Thanks for advice guys. I'll leave this one alone - something not stacking up with part number and description. I'll look for another one closer to vehicle age. A Few choices on eBay.

If it was from an E300, wouldn't the part number start A124?

As a mater of interest, will a 124 steering wheel fit 463?
