M Reg Astra Steering column - CharlieG
My uncle recently had a break in to his 1995 Astra Merit (M Reg) and had the steering wheel (with air bag and power steering) stolen, they also damaged the steering column. The insurance company are likely to write it off as the repair to steering wheel/column will be around £1300+VAT.

I have a 1992 (J Reg) Astra 1.4 (without air bag or power steering) that I was going to scrap.

Would the steering wheel & column from my car be compatible with my uncle's one? If they are, is it ok to fit a steering wheel without air bag to a car that originally had one??
