Ive got the same prob with a sticky steering wheel. I've been giving it a whipe with flash bathroom whipes which seams to work for a bit as it takes off the grease on the surface of the wheel.
As my disco is off the road for a few days whilst I wait for a new alternator. I'm going to try and clean the wheel with some leather cleaner that I've got for my sofa Smile

Well now there is a decent cover.
Smooth Napa with Perforated Leather..... ideal for your tacky or basic wheel.
You just stitch it in yourself [or get a trimmer to do it for you]

And it just so happens I've got a brand new one for sale.

Sticky steering wheel

I had this on my D3, tried leather polishes and cleaners but still sticky. Eventually spent one hour with paper kitchen wipes and bottle methylated spirits. It's now better than when it was new.

Treat yourselves to a new soft napa leather one, you wan't regret it, costly but best mod without a doubt I've done and if you stretch to heated Very Happy . I have read many times how good people's say they are, I now believe them, totally transform the vehicle.

I found a lot of useful information regarding this topic here Thumbs Up http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic96487.h...icky+wheel

I used all of SWMBO nail varnish remover rubbing it senseless for about 20 minutes.
I then used this kit http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380431276050?clk_rvr_id=727022940325
I rushed the painting process on mine and it still looks great Very Happy

May not be sticky but certainly very tacky.

When I bought my D3 in June it had a very tacky steering wheel so I gave it a good clean with white spirit and it has remained dry since.
