hey guys. ive recently bought a 320i touring on an N plate. im just getitng it ready to go though the mot and ther are a few things that need addressing i think. the one im focusing on at the moment is the horn and airbag, both fail points as far as im aware.

anyway, i knew the horn didnt work, and the airbag light was on so i thought ide whip the steering wheel off and have a look. the center of the wheel (airbag unit) just popped out! as it hadnt been screwed in :-( and when i took the wheel off i also saw why the self cancelling turn indicators werent working. because the lobes on the wheel are miles away from the tab they need to touch to cancell the indicator!

from this i deduced its the wrong wheel for the car? (am i right?) so i just thought ide get one from a breaker. but on further investigation, i cant see any supply for the horn or airbag???? now i would expect to have seen either a ribbon cable or some brass contact rings, but i cant see anytihng????

could someone please have a look at these pictures and tell me what im missing???

many thanks in advance :-)

The shaft is generic, so I would suspect the "Slip-ring" at this point !
