blahh, sry for my english is not my mother language and learnt after 3 others, kinda hard to explain such a thing like that sometimes:)

So again, i'd like to change the wheel, but i heard that its not a simple thing, cause u need a puller for it,is that right,and am looking for suggestions how could be the easiest to do it.

Undo bolt, hit it from behind is the free version.

You have the intelligence to understand 3 languages and then use text talk :palm:

No problem :)

It is safer to use a puller (about ÂŁ12 from halfords) as hitting it off CAN (not always) take a lot of hitting, and COULD POTENTIALLY, damage steering column

Not 100% what you're asking. I think you mean

" can I swap my non airbag wheel for one with an airbag"

If so, then yes. I did above..

I think yes need that squib installed too with the wheel.i have it ordered .About the installation, hmm have to see first,but dont know seriously, since i got the most stupid sport wheel on now in the car, looks really ugly and make the driving absolutely annoying.Young fella was the last owner, who made some super random wiring work+changed the original wheel for that crap.

Yes you need squib

When the new MOT rules come into play...

If an airbag is fitted, it must work.
If a car has an airbag fitted as standard, it will be a fail if it's removed or not working

If you don't have an airbag in the steering wheel and just a big hole instead when you take it to the MOT, and it never had an airbag as standard it should be a pass and advise

Usually i had a left hand drive car till now,since it was my own car used in the uk roads for a while, and made MOT when i've been at home for holidays,our rules little different.

Good to know,it's not hard to remove the airbag, when am goin to the MOT, so gonna be fine like.,just in case i will take a look around,my friend works in s scrapyard but they dont have any corsa model there right now. Thanks for the opinion.
