QUite an easy one.2 torx behind the wheel hloding on the airbag. Then the airbag will come out disconect the orange connector . Then a big torx bolt on the midle after you have removed that pull hit wiggle the wheel it is tough but will come in the end.

Before starting disconect the batt. Wait 10 mins and make sure the wheel is straight

Cant do pics as I on my mob

when disconnecting the battery its better to leave it for more than ten mins just to make sure thers no wafer of a current in the cars circuits, ya dont want an airbag in ya face lol, also make sure your steering wheel is ded centre, mark it against the ignition column first (wer key goes) so ya dont end up with it on an angle Smile

Technically it shouldn't deploy if the keys aren't in, and by the time you've taken the shrouding off the power should have gone away from the airbag.

But its better to be safe than sorry.

Multiplexed airbag is clipped on so you aint gonna find the 2 torx screws to undo Wink

You also aint gonna find an orange conector plug behind a multiplexed airbag, you will find a blue & also a green plug both with yellow securing clips.
