I have fitted an escort xr3 wheel which is a lot smaller than a sierra wheel and even looks ok.

Cheers Chaps, think I will go for the stick on foam.....
BTW - Got my chassis number through today - that was remarkably quick and easy, my local DVLA are really on the ball and helpful.

One concern - if you look at the bit about steering in the SVA manual it talks about the wheel/steering column system, which has to be regarded
as a whole.
I know it's paranoid, but it's one reason why I'll be going to the SVA with the original wheel. I know yours collides with the
gearchange, but didn't the Sierra come with various size wheels (depending on whether you had power steering or not)? Can't you find a
smaller one in a scrappy?
Also, 'stick-on foam' goes right against the grain of the description in the new manual (see 'SVA update' thread). I know
that version isn't in use yet, but those changes are only the new rulings made official. There is one part that says that all padding must be
similar to what a manufacturer would fit, i.e. not taped-on foam.
Might be worth talking to the test centre!

Surely YOU are the manufacturer, and as long as it is "E" marked, is padded, it should be OK!
It's possible that it is refering to imports and is not too clear.
Just a thought!

spoke to the sva tester at lunch (just up the road) they wont accept covers that are tapeed on anymore but if the padding is velcroed on they will ie
the cover velcros to its self.
hope this helps

And I hoping to buy an exhaust insert tommorrow to reduce the noise

I've just got my pad back from a bloke who used it for his SVA, also a grill I got from Lolocost as I knew the MK one would not pass, fits the
MK nose just right with 4 cable ties.
As with Northy can post off if need be.

Well Zetec, looks like you've got the southern half of the country covered, and I'll do the northern half
Also got a standard Sierra steering wheel somewhere

Dont buy an exhaust reducer, as I have got one that i never used if I can find it !
If i find it i can send it on for anyone else to use
all it was is two tubes welded inside of each other
or just use a piece of tube that will fit inside of your exhaust and weld a large washer in front of it so all of the gas has to go thru a smaller
hole
I believe that the smaller the hole the less noise
It will play havoc with the performance and fuel economy
but an sva pass is the ticket
