United Kingdom 2007 Discovery 3 TDV6 GS Manual Java BlackDiscovery 3

Beanie I've dented my steering wheel badge being to heavy handed with it! Big Cry

The bottom lug on the badge is in a different place compared to the green one I removed. So I was trying to make it pierce the steering wheel (i.e. create a new locating hole) which obviously wasn't going to work and resulted in me denting the front of the new badge...

Obviously I'm going to have to buy another from you, but has anyone else had trouble fitting a new one, or has any tips?

Most have trimmed the lugs off as they appear to not be in the right place for all and relied on the adhesive that's already fitted Thumbs Up

The (well, at least my) old badge had four prongs, and the new one has three. The two on the same side aren't in the same place so they don't go into the same holes. I started off by carefully making the holes larger with a Stanley blade, then trying to cut a new one for the bottom middle. At this point I started to worry considering what lies beneath. I ended up cutting a bit away from each top lug so it fitted onto the existing holes, and removing the bottom lug all together. I was sceptical that the sticky pad would hold it, considering that you can't bend the lugs backwards once they're through the hole.

However, the sticky pad holds it perfectly, no 'popping' if you push the badge because its only half stuck. So, I'd suggest:

Cut the two top lugs on the inner sides
Remove the bottom lug
Makes sure the badge is straight (and the right way up, I didn't have my wheel straight so had to double check!), and push down.

No problem Thumbs Up

The only worrying thing is that my old badge was a swine to get out because of the backwards bent metal lugs, you don't want to damage the steering wheel. An answer may be to CAREFULLY drill small holes into the face of the badge roughly where the lugs are, so you can lever out with a small terminal screwdriver. You would have to use a battery drill on a very slow speed so you can instantly stop as soon as the bit breaks through the metal.

Worth doing.

Cheers Beanie - got mine no problem. I now have a full set of badges for the whole car and wheels to replace, getting rid of the original green ones and replacing all with the black and silver. What odd's will people give me on SWMBO not noticing?!
 Cheers,

Gareth
